Reseña del libro "The Feminine Heart of Poetry: Poets Unite Worldwide (en Inglés)"
As an ALL FEMALE POETS Anthology, in ‘The Feminine Heart of Poetry’ female poets examine women's identity in the community and language. They talk about the challenges and expectations that women face: ** Then I fear I may lose my identity. / I fear I may forget / I saw a revolution (Afrooz Jafarinoor); A girl, a blessed Albatross / A girl, a dangerous fox (Gazaleh Bayat); I do not know how to straddle this sphere between here and there / What's in my mind / Inside my world (Leah Ayliffe); I'm running / beyond the boundaries of this world (Anna Banasiak); My dear daughter / Life is so unconventional and unpredictable (Abhilasha Bhatt); What an awesome creation of God! / HIS masterpiece, the woman! (Mallika Menon); I am lost / In search of myself / I only find the fragments (Bharati Nayak) ** Some female poets in ‘The Feminine Heart of Poetry’ are writing a strong socially engaged poetry that discovers the mechanisms of socio-political control, colonial politics and demystify the constructive faces of history. They deal with reverence, interpretations, receptions of marginalized events of different epochs, the problem of separateness and the autonomy of the writer's act in relation to the socio-political context. ** Somebody concentrated enough/ to join a system of static values / but shall you? (Kirila Cvetovska); “To whom does an exceptional mind belong?” / “Is it male, female, white, black or green?” (Birgitta Abimbola Heikka) ** Intimate confessions that are sometimes feminist can be found in ‘The Feminine Heart of Poetry’; they are sometimes traditional, autobiographical or documentary, but each poem is an authentic female experience. (Enesa Mahmić) -- Each poem tells a story of dreams and struggles, and each poem is a cry of pain, where also moments of anger are depicted, for their heroines document their fears, frustration, loss and disappointment. All of the above is put in the hands of the readers through this poetry book, with the hope that they will appreciate the agonies of the poetesses and empathize with their hope for a change in the mentality of their societies. (Dr. Tavgah Saeed)
