Bleeding Light (Paperback)

Poetry. BLEEDING LIGHT is a collection of ghazals tracing the steps of a woman's journey through night. In order to witness dawn, she has first to travel through dusk. Throughout her journey, she is caught between West and East, religion and heresy, love and anti-love, darkness and the knowledge of light. Each couplet of a ghazal is an independent thought and reflection, a pearl strung into a necklace. BLEEDING LIGHT is fraught with opposing, stark, and often violent imagery heavily influenced by Sufi philosophy.
