Publisher Marketing: "Maandeeq" is the first-ever diasporic collection of Somali poetry. But it's more than just a poetry book; it's the product of scattered pieces of a people coming together. It contains poems from Somali poets in every corner of the world. 90 pages of authentic ideas and experiences of the Somali people, some beautiful, some gut-wrenching, some a mixture of the two. It's an inside look at the complexities of our lives and an examination of the human condition. It's a story of the shape of our wounds, and the beauty of our scars.
