"He says, not another mango poem" by Manahil Bandukwala appears on NationalPoetryMonth.ca on April 18, 2023.
From Manahil
"He says, not another mango poem lightly pokes fun at reactions to ‘mango poems’ — this mango poem pushes against exoticization and delves into the connections between pleasure and food. Overall, it reconsiders what is "exotic" by flipping the lens.”
