Beschrijving

Bol Six female Afghan poets wield language to combat the lon eliness, absurdity, and claustrophobia of life in a war-torn country and its diaspora. There are “hypnotic, l on g beards” tangled with mass extincti on s; hateful men burning grapevines; black blindfolds; jinn in chadors; and c on doms advertised every eight minutes on TV. Interspersing these are tender moments: on e poet describes brushing her daughter’s hair , while another imagines a tree growing at the center of a room, undisturbed by the bombs outside. In the wake of the Taliban’s escalating war on Afghan women’s rights, Hair on Fire is a blazing tribute to a group of excepti on al poetesses and a reminder of what we lose when voices are silenced.
