Answer:

Fatimah Asghar is a contemporary poet and filmmaker. Her work is well-regarded in all circles and has been included in Poetry Magazine and other famous publications

Step-by-step explanation:

In her poem “For Peshawar,” Fatimah Asghar writes, “Every year I manage to live on this earth / I collect more questions than I do answers.” The questions her poems ask are painful, but necessary: “How do you kill someone who isn’t afraid of dying?” “Are all refugees superheroes?” “Do all survivors carry villain inside them?” Her poetry does not provide answers but encourages questions; does not instruct but still teaches; does not conform to but challenges existing ideas. Her poetry is self-aware in the most hospitable way. The poet’s view of the world and her place within it is made visible to us. She says, “I am here.”
