Author: Miriam Al Adib Mendiri.
Singular, mystical, carnal, mammalian, erotic, sensual, compassionate, rebellious and vindictive, this is the poetry through which the gynaecologist and writer Miriam Al Adib Mendiri gives voice to women after more than 20 years of work for female sexual and reproductive health. Her verses praise the feminine and give space to the silenced cry of hundreds of women who have passed through her professional and personal life.
Daughter of two cultures, of a Syrian father and a Spanish mother, in some of her poems you can appreciate the mixture between East and West that she carries in her blood. In a hymn to freedom and peace, she does not distinguish between creeds, races, ideologies or cultures because everything fits in the language of the heart.
Cyclical like the seasons and women, this collection of poems opens up semantic fields full of seeds and flowers, skies and seas, gardens and deserts. Words such as giving birth, incarnate, womb, fertility, womb, desire, love, motherhood are mixed in a polyhedral way with juicy fruits, white sheets and perfumed nights that smell of jasmine, beautifully integrating the carnal and the dreamlike, as well as the earthly and the spiritual. There is also no shortage of poems that give names to women’s pain, trauma and abuse, uncovering the ancestral fear of our powerful sex that tradition has so often condemned to guilt and shame.
