Critics Review
“You’ll find a new friend in yesterday i was the moon. One poem at a time.” - Areeba Siddique
“Reading Noor’s words, I can see their color and smell the scents of love, passion, anger, and truth on every page. Her poems will speak to your soul like they were written for you.” - Raisa Andriana
“Early in yesterday i was the moon, Noor Unnahar tells us her name means ‘light of the day.’ This seems exactly perfect for a poet who has crafted a book so supremely luminous, so incandescent. Here is a brightness by which we might work, by which we might live and love and survive. When Unnahar says ‘i am the light i should be looking for,’ her discovery illuminates us too.” - Kaveh Akbar
