Promises Have a Life of Their Own

About this book

Iman Mohamed's poems revisit old wounds, abandoned dreams, and the promises people make to themselves and one another. Love appears as faith, refuge, illusion, and risk; memory preserves both the exhilaration of flight and the pain of falling. Written in a direct lyrical voice, the collection offers recognition to readers carrying conflicting feelings of longing and disappointment while searching for the courage to gather love's scattered pieces and begin again.
