A Muslimah's Pen: Reflections in Poetry: A Muslimah's Pen

By Gabriela Martin PhD

A Muslimah's Pen: Reflections in Poetry is a collection of Haikus and Free Verse poems, written in English and Spanish. The poems were written when I first noticed a mass on my left breast and began a journey that changed my life. The experience forced me to reflect on love, life and family. Life is short. I wasted so much time being proud and angry with people who truly loved me. We should hold on to love, make ourselves happy and stop trying to please people who have nothing to do with our every day lives. A portion of the proceeds from this book's sales will go towards breast cancer research. Alhamdulillah.
