Description

Book Synopsis

Maybe I Should Fly is a collection of poems written in English by two young Afghan women. The Labib sisters, seldom given opportunities to be fully seen or heard in their own country, use poetry to express their deepest concerns, fears, joys and perspectives on life. This volume of poetry, which may be considered poetry of witness, provides valuable insights to anyone wishing to understand what it is like for the women of Afghanistan.

Review Quotes

In Maybe I Should Fly, sisters Shafiqa and Farida Labib counter the constant media coverage of violence that numbs the world's hearts and minds. Their poems keep Afghan women from being reduced to daily statistics...Read these powerful, visceral poems of witness to ultimately find hope for a different future for the world.

-Vivian Shipley, author of Hindsight:2020

The work of Shafiqa and Farida Labib shows the power of poetry in overcoming oppression, and it is part of the important tradition of Poetry of Witness.

-Pat Mottola, author of After Hours
