Shakti's Words: An Anthology of South Asian Canadian Women's Poetry Paperback - 1993

by Diane McGifford (Editor); Judith Kearns (Editor)

From the rear cover

Articulating a purely feminist consciousness; giving voice to Third World and immigrant concerns; decrying racism and bigotry; rebellious and subversive, sometimes simply lyrical or imagistic; invoking the real, magical, and mythical, old worlds and the new; analytical or synthetical; these poems reflect also a commitment to craft, the search for form, and individual style. They represent the new voices that are gradully changing the landscape of Canadian literature. Including poetry by Himani Bannerji, Arzina Burney, Ramabai Espinet, Lakshmi Gill, Jamila Ismail, Surjeet Kalsey, Suniti Namjoshi, Uma Parameswaran, Tilottama Rajan, Nilambri Singh, and Yasmin Ladhna
