Author: Sahar A. Dandan
ISBN: 9781967369089
Publisher: Daybreak Press
Palms upturned
Sorting shards
Here
your grandmother’s silence
There
my cracked defiance
We glue them with gold
Not to hide the breaks
But to make the seams glow
Sahar Dandan is a chemical engineer by training and a sustainability-driven executive by vocation. She holds a double degree in chemical engineering and science from the University of Sydney. Her passion for community development led her to shift careers, however, and she began creating creating programs for young refugees, Muslim women, and minority communities.
Alongside her professional and community work, Sahar continues to pursue studies in Islamic sciences and teach Islamic texts. She is currently the CEO of Greendale Garden Cemetery, where she leads efforts to integrate traditional burial practices with eco-conscious design.
Sahar began writing poetry at an early age, and this is her first published collection. This book is written at the gentle urging of her friends, who thought the world would enjoy her work as much as they do. She currently lives in Sydney, Australia, with her family and an ever-revolving menagerie of foster animals.
