Summary:
"Seven years after the publication of Firesmoke, Sheniz Janmohamed returns with her third collection of poetry, Reminders on the Path. The poet is wayfarer, exploring the path we inherit and seek out, that disappears with every step we take on it. At each step, there are reminders rooted in the ephemeral and the indelible. A companion on the path, a fleeting memory, a broken twig--all serve as guideposts to cross the threshold of one's self. Grounded in the language of place, these poems become stepping-stones from the author's past to the present, from forgetfulness to remembrance, and from the unknowing to a deep knowing only found through direct experience."-- Provided by publisher.
