Detailing the lives of Syrian women living in Paris, these poems,
capturing the unheard voices of women whose lives are suppressed in
unimaginable ways, allow us to explore moments never mentioned in
the news reports. Potent and never failing to capture the essence
of the feminine experience with a remarkable amount of insight.
Maram al-Masri here gives voice and presence to women, and some
young boys, who are in one way or another mysterious to us - not
just because they are 'other' but because they mainly live in a
cultural community whose codes and conventions are opaque to
Europeans. Mostly but not exclusively Muslim, many of the
characters whose real or imagined lives she discloses endure in
quiet desperation. Maram al-Masri's gift is to evoke these
disparate lives with clarity, brevity and compassion. BAREFOOT
SOULS is a chronicle of lives untold; it is also a negotiation
between the known and the unknown, a generous service in poetry to
our often surprising common humanity.
