Corporate jargon coexists with the incantatory and ancient ghazal form. Ahmed's second book of poetry explores the terrain of loss--of a beloved family member, of human dignity and potential, of the earth as it stands, of hope. Her poems weave mourning with the erratic process of healing, skepticism with an unsteady attempt to regain faith. With poems that are by turns elegiac, biting, and tender, \u003ci\u003eBring Now the Angels\u003c\/i\u003e conveys a desire to move toward transformation and rebirth, even among seemingly insurmountable obstacles: chronic disease, corporate greed, environmental harm, and a general atmosphere of anxiety and violence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eUNDERGROUND\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e...They are turning their locks\u003cbr\u003eto paint their faces \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eand their daughters' faces.\u003cbr\u003eThey look on as the girls regard\u003cbr\u003etheir eyes in mirrors, in the long \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ecracked mirror of history, and war. \u003cbr\u003eThey paint themselves into existence\u003cbr\u003einside the shuttered rooms \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eof their hearts, where freedom\u003cbr\u003estill bristles...\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44083550519341,"sku":"WHS-ad073b2b33ee4099b5d0f7b7e0aa84ac","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_cb19210e-59bb-409d-9e3e-4a2707685917.jpg?v=1755214735","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/bring-now-the-angels-poems","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
