Bøker av Abda Khan

Abda Khan's debut poetry collection is a thought-provoking journey through the challenges she has navigated as a first generation British Pakistani Muslim woman, and how writing poetry, albeit late in life, has helped her to come to terms with personal trauma and to try and make some sense of the world around her. As a result of her personal experiences and the issues she has come across in her work, the poems deal with some heavy issues (something Abda has never shied away from in her novels); bereavement, abuse, inequality, injustice, depression, menopause - but they are tinged with an overwhelming sense of the strength of the human spirit and a feeling of hope.
