A Silence Carry You Can Carry by Hibaq Osman

Contributor to BAR Hibaq Osman was published towards the end of last year by Out-Spoken Press.  Here’s the write up: A Silence You Can Carry stands as a searing debut collection from a startlingly brave new talent. The delicate and almost effortless poetry of Hibaq Osman blends everyday objects and movements into monumental invocations. The collection is filled with beautifully woven observations that are centered on love and loss, family relationships, identity and womanhood. You can get yourself a copy here, as well as peruse other fine things made by Out-Spoken Press: http://www.outspokenldn.com/outspokenpress/
