I Will Not Bear You Sons by Usha Akella ebook (EPUB)
A poem can glisten like a fresh wound.
Usha Akella pays tribute to the lives of women from cultures across continents, while reflecting on her own life. Her poems are the medium for women who refuse to be silenced. She condenses a calm rage into ferocious words of precision and celebrates the women who have triumphed. All the while a subversive dusting of humour runs through the collection.
This is poetry that cannot be ignored.
Rage has no caste, needs no algorithm,
light a pyre with it
of chopped thumbs and scripted dreams
