"Pirmohamed writes with a flow which is rarely interrupted. She has a fine ear for the musicality in words and knows exactly where a line should turn..."

- The Scotsman

"In Alycia Pirmohamed's first full-length collection, Another Way to Split Water, figures split, double, and even shatter through inheritances of migration: 'Even as a young girl, you found fragments / of the broken mirror that same country handed you.'"

- Rebecca Morgan Frank for Poetry Foundation

"Alycia Pirmohamed's astute and moving poems dwell in a longing that's a 'pattern embossed' on the skin. An intimacy with language is evident on each page: sonic-rich phrasing, imagery that leaps and soars, and an astonishing attentiveness to the line. Pirmohamed is an immensely gifted poet. Her first book is an opening, a marvel."

- Eduardo C. Corral, author of Guillotine

"In Alycia Pirmohamed's Another Way To Split Water, a reader gets to taste arrival before arrival, a form of tenderness that refracts: 'an inherited vanishing/through the slit of a dream.'"

-Bhanu Kapil

"This is how Another Way to Split Water moves, wending through ossuaries and great plains, making oxbow lakes of prayers and their origins, bifurcating desire and discovery til each word holds its own river. You will want to map the navigations of these poems. You will be compelled to orbit their magnetic and inimitable oscillations. Ravenous, I reach for the depths Pirmohamed has herein abseiled."

- Shivanee Ramlochan, author of Unkillable

"Alycia Pirmohamed's debut, Another Way to Split Water, is an electric, taut, and glimmering achievement: the poet conjures with clarity and intelligence a world that is marked by longing, loss, and lost lands. She splits and gathers water like hair, elegizing and praising relationships to mothers, lovers, and God, but ultimately, this is a love song to and a lament of the self, estranged and beautiful."

- Aria Aber, author of Hard Damage
