In this enthralling book of poetry, Shirin Karimi explores suffering and loss among the ill and imprisoned, bringing us, in the words of poet Martha Donovan, author of Dress Her in Silk, "to the heart of what it means to be human: in the face of adversity we can either be crushed by the weight of our lives or we can become, if only for a moment, 'Weightless, like astronauts or angels.' With wisdom and compassion beyond her years, Karimi shows us, with aching beauty, the resiliency of the human spirit in times of great loss."
