​
Mina Khan’s small creatures is a tender, album-like retelling of the immigrant family post-American Dream. Drawing upon her Korean-Pakistani heritage, Khan discusses the NYC bodega in a gentrifying neighborhood, the aging body, and a rapidly deteriorating climate. Everyday violences-and the vivid joys that persevere.

​
Trauma molds the collective memory that Mina Khan's poems relay in this chapbook of poetry, interlacing autobiographical examination with the rigor of researched fact. These poems rupture through a generational understanding between mother, father, and child, and rekindle old symbols through the ashes of contemporary seeing. If ancestry leads the poet toward massacre and war-torn worlds, MON's stunning autofictions recover the flaked past within living monuments.
