Remembrance Suite

A Sonnet of Sonnets

Shirin Sabri has given us a rare gift in this precious jewel-box of sonnets. It contains the lives of great women long-forgotten and lovingly retrieved, the names of lost heroines at last restored to their original lustre. It is particularly poignant to trace these erased identities within the tight confines of the sonnet-form, which so perfectly reflects the way women have found spiritual freedom and achieved prominence in spite of the restrictions imposed on them.
