Tere is a room in the Musée d'Orsay that I call the room of possibilities.

These are stirring poems with a worldly view, both accessible and imaginative. They make an excellent cross-cultural exchange that demonstrates our universal humanity. A beautiful book. An important new voice. Through compassion and wisdom she weaves the world together with her vivid words. World history is not national, it is international, and in her words, I found traces of my history, my life, my grief, and my desires.

Sheema, a world citizen, shows in this powerful book, that just as the Earth is gold at its core, moving hot liquid, she does too. Sheema Kalbasi belongs to that world-wide community of the passionate and caring, who write of exile, injustice and desire. In an age of extremes, be they from the right or the left, from any and all religions, it is rare to hear a voice of reason, mature and graceful.
