    About this ebook

    Fiona M. Khan's poetry is page turning. She doesn't mince her words in a collection that transgresses her own journey through life as a girl growing up, finding love, joy and heartache in a country that has transformed itself. She uses language as a tool to paint her own transformation, to forgive, forget and grow in a multicultural society. Her metaphors are simple and identifiable, yet filled with angst. Every poem in this collection drips with passion and lyrical harmony.
