Sparks of Phoenix

Najwa Zebian

Poetry 

In Sparks of Phoenix, Najwa Zebian takes her readers on a powerful journey of healing. The book is divided into six chapters, and six stages—Falling, Burning to Ashes, Sparks of Phoenix, Rising, Soaring, and finally, A New Chapter, which demonstrates a healthy response to new love as the result of authentic healing. With her characteristic vulnerability, courage, and softness, Zebian seeks to empower those who have been made to feel ashamed, silenced, or afraid; she urges them, through gentle advice and personal revelation, to raise their voices, rise, and soar.

Failure to Make Round Rotis

Mehak Goyal

Poetry 

In this powerful debut collection, Mehak Goyal writes vividly about the experiences of young Indian women today. She explores the doubt that you carry while adulting, the toxic relationships you chase because you deem yourself unworthy, the guilt and insecurity that haunts you when you finally find that deserving love, the tug and pull of love and hate with yourself, the dark reality of arranged marriage and the unfair expectations and casual discrimination that women face every day. Every poem will resonate. Every line will draw blood.
