Bury Me In Jasmine

$5.50

A pithy, haunting meditation on ancestry, femininity, and inheritance. 

In Bury Me in Jasmine, M.K. Mani unearths the beginning of her own metamorphosis. Drawing from memory and myth, her collection traces matters that are simultaneously profoundly personal and universal: childhood, womanhood, migration, generational pain, and holy defiance. Her work traverses global landscapes, from ancestral rice plains to the state of Texas. Across ten poems, Mani writes of god and divinity, mothers and daughters, submission and rebellion, and the tender threads of violence that bind hearts and souls to lineage.
