Publisher's Synopsis
Souad Labbize, poet of love and exile, lived for years in Algeria and Tunisia before crossing to France, where she speaks for all women who leave their homelands to affirm their independence. This collection brings together two she published in France: Drafts of Love is a series of love poems between two women, and Bindle of Exile tells us "how to leave the country/lightweight." In her brief but concise poems, Labbize condenses great passion and an unyielding commitment to truth, freedom and justice.
