Veils, halos and shackles

The first-ever anthology of international poetry specifically addressing the oppression and empowerment of women.

 

A unique and important anthology

The December 2012 rape and murder of Jyoti Singh Pandey in Delhi moved thousands of people to pour into the streets in protest. Veils, Halos & Shackles: International Poetry on the Oppression and Empowerment of Women was conceived in response to that vicious gang-rape and to the unprecedented public activism for women’s safety that followed it. The anthology features morethan 250 extraordinary poems from every continent, contributed by some of the world’s most accomplished living poets, as well as testimony that is wise, direct, and haunting.

Note to Retail Book Sellers: Veils, Halos & Shackles is available to bookstores and other “trade” outlets through Small Press Distribution. For international or larger quantity orders, contact the publisher at info@kasvapress.com
