Intimate poems that explore feminine shame and violence and imagine what liberation from these threats might look like, from the award-winning author of The January ChildrenIn Girls That Never Die, award-winning poet Safia Elhillo reinvents the epic to explore Muslim girlhood and shame, the dangers of being a woman, and the myriad violences enacted and imagined against women’s bodies.

Ultimately, Girls That Never Die is about wrestling ourselves from the threats of violence that cons
