The Wild Fox of Yemen: Poems by Threa Almontaser

dark emotional funny informative inspiring reflective tense medium-paced

5.0

 "I celebrate / my naked, lonesome self. Less escape, more journey, desiring nothing but to fill / my own appetite." -- After Running Away From Another Marriage Proposal

Almontaser's collection of poetry combines Arabic and English, American culture with Yemeni heritage. The struggles and conflicts she experiences of her gender, her religion, her homes. Without knowing the language, I still feel the intensity of her words and the fierceness with which she writes.

This is a work that deserves every award it received.
