i connected very well with the short stories. i had a hard time with the poetry because i never really understood how to read poetry properly. if there is a way to read poetry that is. the art was great in this book but i wish it was colored and bigger. definitely a book i'd pick up again, especially all the poetry to read again.

This is a great anthology that has a lot to offer. If you want to read poems, essays, letters, and interviews with and by Arab and Arab American women, totally read this because it'll teach you a lot. It's enjoyable even with touchy subjects.
seemed forced, slightly contrived - i couldn't stand it.
Okay, okay, so I am in this anthology! Its a fantastic anthology to be a part of and is diverse.
