Description
A moving collection of poetry about navigating mid-life, full of humour and wit, from acclaimed novelist Farzana Doctor
This debut poetry collection from acclaimed novelist Farzana Doctor is both an intimate deep dive and a humorous glance at the tumultuous decade of her forties. Through crisp and vivid language, Doctor explores mid-life breakups and dating, female genital cutting, imprints of racism and misogyny, and the oddness of sex and love, and urges us to take a second look at the ways in which human relationships are never what we expect them to be.
About the author
Farzana Doctor is a Toronto-based Registered Social Worker who has been working with individuals and couples since 1993. As an activist, educator and writer, she has taught clinicians, co-written manuals for mental health providers and contributed chapters and articles about 2SLGBTQ+ issues, anti-oppression, self-care and female genital mutilation/cutting. She is the co-founder of WeSpeakOut and the End FGM Canada Network. She has written four critically acclaimed novels and a poetry collection.
Editorial Reviews
"These poems are clean, tight, wry, luscious, kvetchy and up-close-to-brown-skin."
Sonnet L'Abbe
In this collection, love, disappointment and possibility collide, at home and unhomed in spare, precise language."
