When we hear of them, it is invariably as plaster saints or meek followers. It is time to smell the danger in their words again, to listen to their feral sensuality, their searing questions\u003cbr\u003eabout custodians of gender and faith. It is time to tune into their brazenness, their heartbreaking\u003cbr\u003elonging. Not just for their sake but for ours too. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this anthology of sacred poetry that arrives after the much-loved book, \u003ci\u003eEating God\u003c\/i\u003e, Arundhathi Subramaniam weaves together haunting voices of, by and for women across the Indian subcontinent. Here is a lineage of audacious woman-centred spirituality that traverses the poetry of ancient Buddhist nuns, \u003cbr\u003eBhakti and Sufi mystics, tantrikas and Vedantins. There are women here, and men singing as women, and both raising their voices in praise of the sacred feminine. Brought to us through translation, these poems surprise with how intimately familiar their ravenous yearnings and ecstatic freedoms are. Wild Women invites us to reclaim an explosive inheritance of female power, rapture and wisdom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arundhathi Subramaniam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ebury Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 1.10w x 1.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143464907","brand":"Ebury Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43176918220937,"sku":"9780143464907","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_bf2ee16c-4da2-4688-90c9-9e231455b417.jpg?v=1733217060","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/wild-women-seekers-protagonists-and-goddesses-in-sacred-indian-poetry-9780143464907","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
