Description
In her second full-length poetry collection, Miracle Marks, activist Purvi Shah investigates gender inequity and American racism through Hindu iconography and philosophy. In these searing, revelatory poems, Shah reminds us that surviving birth as an infant girl is miraculous -- as such, every girl is a miracle mark. And because education is often denied to girls, writing by women is a miracle. Through sound energy and white space, these poems chart multiple realities, including the miracles of women's labors and survivals. This collection spurs dialogue across communities and lights a way for brown girls and women who relish in spirit, intellect, politics, and justice.
