Sommario/riassunto |
|
"The poems in Before I Had the Word explore the divine in the secular, mundane world, often challenging the definition of holiness. Sahni uses her religious and cultural backgrounds-Sikhism and Judaism-as springboards from which to question notions of the ecstatic in nature, sexuality and the body"-- |
