Description
This remarkable first collection by Parwana Fayyaz tells the stories of Afghan women, past and present, through their own voices. With unflinching honesty, she evokes the endurance and achievements that have shaped their lives.
The poems in this book are a testament to the power of language, conjuring and commemorating moments from the past while acknowledging the challenges of the present. The title poem, which won the 2019 Forward Prize for Best Single Poem, is a striking example of Fayyaz's skill as a poet.
