Girls that never die : poems / Safia Elhillo. by Elhillo, Safia, author. New York : One World, [2022] Subjects Girls -- Poetry.   Muslim women -- Poetry.   Women -- Violence against -- Poetry. ISBN:  9780593229484 (trade paperback) : 0593229487 (trade paperback) Description:  125 pages ; 21 cm Edition:  First edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  "In Girls That Never Die, award-winning poet Safia Elhillo reinvents the epic to explore Muslim girlhood and shame, the dangers of being a woman, and the myriad violences enacted and imagined against women's bodies. Drawing from her own life and family histories, as well as cultural myths and news stories about honor killings and genital mutilation, she interlaces the everyday traumas of growing up a girl under patriarchy with magical realist imaginings of rebellion, autonomy, and power. Elhillo writes a new world: women escape their stonings by birds that carry the rocks away; slain girls grow into two, like the hydra of lore, sprouting too numerous to ever be eradicated; circles of women are deemed holy, protected. Ultimately, Girls That Never Die is about wrestling ourselves from the threats of violence that constrain our lives, and instead looking to freedom and questioning: [what if i will not die] [what will govern me then]"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 811.6 El Checked In Add Copy to MyList
