Description

With her first full-length poetry collection, Sara M Saleh introduces us to the polychromatic lives of girls and women as they come into being amidst war, colonial and patriarchal violence, and exile and migration.

This searing work interrogates and represents the complexity of Arab-Australian Muslim women' s identities as they negotiate an irresistible world full of music and family, grit and grief, love and loss.

Saleh' s poetry is not only an inherently political act, but a deeply personal one, charged with multilayered conversations and meditations amongst three generations of women in Sara' s family.

Her poems dazzle with an incantatory force of spirit, survival and selfhood, proving without a doubt that Saleh is one of this country' s most compelling contemporary poets.
