Across the Difficult: With Rabia of Basra and Others—Poems by Tamam Kahn was published by Albion-Andalus Books in July. “A book of history and bravery, poems that burst through silences of centuries, unafraid of either bliss or agony. Tamam Kahn has become a branch on the mighty tree of knowledge that is women’s knowledge of the unbreakable connection between flesh and spirit. She declares, and we all can declare, ‘We could have world history rewritten. Right now. Why not?’” Alicia Ostriker, author of Waiting for the Light and The Volcano and After. More info here.
