The Pocketknife Bible: The Poems and Art of Anis Mojgani (Write Bloody, 73)

Pushcart Prize Nominee, two-time National Poetry Slam Individual Champion, and winner of the World Cup Poetry Slam, Anis Mojgani captivates with The Pocketknife Bible , which builds the bridge between a grown-up book for children and a children’s picture book for adults, seeking to answer these questions through the author’s poems and pictures: What if your future life came to you as a child in dreams? What if you wrote down those dreams in words and pictures, in the language we spoke as children but forgot once grown? What if as an adult you unearthed this book of dreams and prophecy from your past and translated them out of that long lost tongue into poems that those now grown could understand?
