SPILLING THE CHAI: POEMS ABOUT FAMILY AND FOOD.NOW AVAILABLE FROM JAMII PUBLISHING (SEPT. 2024).
"With depth and compassion, Geneffa Jahan captures the tightrope of immigrant existence in a poignant portrait of a family suspended in the dizzying richness of a diasporic world that transcends time and distance. The tension of being visibly alien yet invisible sways ink an instant from Canada to England to Uganda to Gujarat as father and mother, imprisoned in ancient ideals of masculine and feminine, attempt to skirt pain by savoring spices and spaces, calling forth blessings in small joys. Their best efforts implode again and again into violence and abuse that splinter perceptions into shards that linger in the brain and in the heart.
Geneffa Jahan has cooked up a a feast to be devoured with relish and heartburn. It memorably balances bitter with sweet, sharp with tender in a collection that reverberates with the unseen multigenerational trauma carried by many immigrant families."
—Shizue Seigel, founder/ director of Write Now! SF Bay, editor of of Uncommon Ground: BIPOC Journey to Creative Activism and Essential Truths: The Bay Area in Color
