Description
In Her Feminine Sign by Dunyā Mīkhāʼīl is a luminous collection of poems that explores the intersection of identity, culture, and belonging. At its heart lies the Arabic suffix taamarbuta, 'the tied circle', which transforms into various symbols and imagery, including the moon, a stone, birdsong over ruins, and a hymn to Nisaba, the goddess of writing. Mikhail's poems slip between her childhood in Baghdad and her present life in Detroit, tracing new circles of light. With a deceptive simplicity and disquieting humour reminiscent of Wisława Szymborska, Mikhail offers a unique voice that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. This collection is a powerful exploration of the complexities of identity and the search for meaning in a world marked by conflict and displacement.
