A solo book of poetry that speaks and sings of surviving violence, of cultures of violence sustained by patriarchal and civil society, of resistance and reclaiming of territory and ultimately, finding freedom and carving out one's space through one's voice. Poet, professor and artist, Dr. Sonali Pattnaik's work is a feminist and philosophical testimonial that stitches together a political-personal consciousness to refract experience through the lens of understanding and the language of resistance. It is a book of poetry that seeks to create change for a more equal world for women and the vulnerable by unmasking and reading the narratives of oppression and maps a quest for the possibility of another kind of world. From the book: "for wings to take shape/there must be first wound...if you are afraid of breaking/how will you birth the new?"
