There are “hypnotic, long beards” tangled with mass extinctions; hateful men burning grapevines; black blindfolds; jinn in chadors; and condoms advertised every eight minutes on TV. Interspersing these are tender moments: one 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 exceptional poetesses and a reminder of what we lose when voices are silenced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor: aa vv\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdited: Sarah Coolidge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIntroduction: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAria Aber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003ePages: 144\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eDimensions: 7 in H | 6 in W | 0.4 in T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eOn sale date: September 2, 2025\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003ePublisher: Two Lines Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Two Lines Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47309897793750,"sku":"9781949641844","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/6649\/7238\/files\/HaironFire-AfghanWomenPoets.jpg?v=1758732365"},{"product_id":"the-daily-feast","title":"The Daily Feast","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA joyous and savory collaboration between old friends, Sonoma painter Chester Arnold and Berkeley poet Bart Schneider.

Her tender and often humorous accounts of family histories, coming of age, identity, and the richness of her culture emphasize the love and complexity of her Mexicana\/Chicana experiences. Despite the often rough and tumble life some of her poems reflect with regard to racism, sexism, and personal identity, there are no hints of victim-hood in her work. Whether challenging white male privilege or describing how immigrant families and personal identities manage to survive in a world of hierarchies, injustice, and virtual un-realities, her poetry is rooted in a strong desire to move forward, outward and inward to a place of her own making. Some of her poems evoke a serious tone of injustice or spiritual awakening. However, playfulness is also very much a part of her writing. For example, one of her poems plays with the idea of “egg spell” (an indigenous form of spirit cleansing) and “expel” (as in banishing), which adds and amplifies her poem’s cultural and practical meanings. As a collection of the heart, Victoria’s poetry is a place of power where she can change poison into medicine and medicine into poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eAuthor: Victoria Bañales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003ePages: 143\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eDimensions: 9 in H | 6 in W | 0.3 in T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eOn sale date: June 7, 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003ePublisher: Jamii Publishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jamii Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47552215908566,"sku":"9781954901063","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/6649\/7238\/files\/TheSunWillNotHarmYoubyDay_NortheMoonbyNight.jpg?v=1764725908"},{"product_id":"heirloom","title":"Heirloom","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAshia Ajani's Heirloom stands as a poetic homage to the profound legacy of her family's migration journey - a path traversing from Bentonia, Mississippi to Detroit, Michigan, and finally to Denver, Colorado.

Persisting through fragmentation and reuniting with a shared collection of stories, recipes, and ancestral wisdom, their journey becomes a testament to the resilience born from both nature and human spirit.

A conversation weaves through a poetic landscape of voices that collide, contradict, echo, spring and recoil. Additionally, a thread of letters run throughout the collection, epistolary prose-poery that serve as a narrative, a prayer, as a direct address at times to the reader. The word “nest” is being redefined by the poet as not only a home undergoing change, but also as a balance of darkness and light, the possibility of what can be and an attempt to uncover the unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eAuthor: Ingrid Keir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003ePages: 84\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eDimensions: 8 in H | 5 in W | 0.2 in T\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eOn sale date: March 19, 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003ePublisher: Feather Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Feather Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48008013906134,"sku":"9780997936216","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/6649\/7238\/files\/TheChoreographyofNests.jpg?v=1774734818"},{"product_id":"word-dancing","title":"Word Dancing","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePoetry.
