From the Introduction: “The goal with this anthology is to represent that full range of contemporary expressions of Islam, as well as a full range of genres—poetry, fiction, essay, memoir, political writing, cultural writing, and of course plenty of texts which mix and match and blur all of these modes . . . the trajectories between the pieces—like that of kismet—will be multiple, nonlinear, abstract. The Muslim community is plural and contradictory. This collection of voices ought to be symphony and cacophony at once, like the body of Muslims as they are today.”—Kazim Ali
"In offering a range of vignettes of Muslim life in North America from spiritual practices, political activism, family conflict, loss of homelands, to settling into new immigrant lives and forging communities of solidarity, New Moons is a timely corrective to the monolithic presentation of Muslims still pervasive in contemporary culture." —World Literature Today
"A very moving and varied anthology of poetry, fiction, essays, and memoir by American Muslims provides a window into their experiences, especially after 9/11." —Matt Witt's World Wide Work
