A Series of Poems

Beschreibung

This poetry book from the heart is a powerful picture of one woman's experience coming of age in the past decade. Experience the beauty of words to offer perspective, hope, and transformation. A new collection of poems hits the bookshelves with Scattered, a young woman's testament to the beauty and vibrancy of a complicated world. With themes like romance, heartbreak, self-discovery, feminism, and identity, this powerful volume is the perfect exercise in poetic maximalism. Mariam Shams Tabrez was born to two parents who blended career with artistic passion, working as physicians while also writing poetry prolifically and masterfully on the side. Tabrez, too, keeps one foot in her professional pursuits and one in the world of poetry. She is a lawyer by trade, but for the past ten years she has also written this incredible collection of poems. Following her journey from age seventeen to age twenty-seven, Tabrez's poems vary vastly in subject and theme. But they are anchored by her experiences as an American woman of South Asian descent whose heart to champion diverse self-expression is unrelenting. Fans of Rupi Kaur and Nikita Gill will enjoy this book for its intersectionality and approachability. Tabrez is a down-to-earth writer who speaks to her readers as a close-knit group of peers. Readers will also appreciate the book's eclecticism-each poem offers fresh, surprising reflections on romance, diversity, and coming of age. Tabrez has an exaggerated, full-color writing style that perfectly captures the unbridled spirit of a generation that has constantly been asked to keep its passions in check. Readers in their teens, 20s, and 30s-especially millennial and Gen-Z women-will resonate deeply with these poems that give voice to their hearts.

Born to parents who are both poets and physicians, Mariam was introduced to Urdu and Farsi poetry at a young age, setting the stage for a lifelong love of poetic forms. Mariam began writing in middle school as a way to process her emotional experiences, drawing inspiration from media, personal relationships, and the world around her. As the middle child of two sisters, Mariam believes in the importance of familial connections, finding one's place, and recognizing the power of women to impact their communities.
