Publisher's Synopsis
Seven Shredded Sisters is an arresting collection of poems, robust with feelings, well crafted by Kate's command of form and metaphors. These poems reveal the stories of seven sisters traversing the verities of female genital mutilation. All elevating and elegiizing their experiences - and the larger story of lovers in different geography of emotions, lingering and brokenness. In this overtly gorgeous collection, we experience words in their most delicate forms; eviscerating the complicity of societies in the mental upheavals of girls in their prime, awaiting the creeping throngs of being torn apart.

We enter a sandstorm of discoveries, reading this collection. This collection of poems is riproaring and galvanic
