Over The Anvil We Stretch by Anis Mojgani

Over The Anvil We Stretch by Anis Mojgani

Over The Anvi We Stretch contains swampy, powerful poems that are as exciting as the pocket knife you got for your birthday, the three legged frog on the lawn and the jar of marbles your mother kept in the kitchen. Mojgani's poems are the sound of the river and the stars burning above. He manages to capture the axe in the stump with blood still on the handle. Anis Mojgani has drawn a map of the country in the shape of his wild dreams. These are memories of a life, captured through the blue green filter of the bayou. Mojgani's latest poems are tinged with the sound of crickets spying on us in the darkness. They move forward honestly, brutally and sweetly. The reader will be led into briar patches as well as the moonlight just on the other side.

Anis Mojgani is the champion of the International World Cup Poetry Slam and a two-time National Poetry Slam Champion. Anis has performed at universities, festivals, and venues all over the world. She is a Pushcart Prize nominee and a past resident of the Oregon Literary Arts Writers-In-The-Schools program. His work has been featured on HBO, NPR, RATTLE magazine, and in Spoken Word Revolution Redux, alongside Laureates Ted Kooser and Billy Collins. Anis, a native of New Orleans, now resides in a white pointed house in Portland, Oregon, where he wears his beard on occasion and not on others.
