“This volume of pithy, defiant poetry and prose explore the burden of tasl\u012bm<\/em>\u2014an oral transmission of heritage and ancestral knowledge\u2014on Coptic Orthodox women. These poems highlight the ways in which Coptic women navigate the responsibilities of transmitting ancestral knowledge while reckoning with its costs: deferred joy and pleasure until the afterlife, an almost compulsory notion of motherhood, and a gendered comportment of sacrifice and submission, even in diaspora. Tasl\u012bm<\/em> in the Christian minority of Egypt becomes an even more rigid bind in immigrant communities abroad. This book is ultimately a feminist manifesto for freedom, and the choice to live and desire out loud.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
