This book of poetry is the author's cry for justice in her Egyptian culture, her leap into the wild, and her first honest meeting with a God who hears the language of the oppressed. This work is a tribute to everyone whose voice has been muffled by tradition or inequality. It is a space where the mystical meets the domestic-a personal manifesto for those who refuse to be treated like dolls. The poems are passionate, urgent, and somewhat surreal. Sisters and daughters will find deep fellow feeling in these poems; men will discover wisdom, greater understanding, and empathy. All readers will discover a generational talent in international poetry.
