My Gothic Romance by Mehnaz Sahibzada

$19.99

 

Mehnaz Sahibzada’s new full-length collection, My Gothic Romance, is intense, tender, and startlingly honest. Breaking from the gothic theme, in the poem “Rebirth” we see hope after despair: “Last night / I dreamt / my sadness / turned / into light.”  Sahibzada’s poems are deftly written, engaging, and enlightening.  Her new book will inspire you.

Mehnaz Sahibzada was born in Pakistan and raised in Los Angeles.  She is a PEN USA Emerging Voices Fellow in Poetry and her work has appeared in numerous publications, such as Asia Writes, The Paddock Review and Pedestal Magazine. After two lighthearted chapbooks with Finishing Line Press, Tongue-Tied:  A Memoir in Poems (2012) and Summer Forgets to Wear a Petticoat (2016), Mehnaz presents a deliciously dark yet powerfully optimistic blend of poetry in her first full-length collection ‘My Gothic Romance’. Think Mary Shelley meets Wes Craven or Jane Eyre meets Jason Vorhees. The book represents a literary and cinematic exploration of the beauty within the dark. Expertly blending tones and images, Mehnaz’s collection is a study of primal fear and what attracts us to the morally ambiguous.
