At Sea

By Aïcha Martine Thiam

Book Overview

AT SEA is a collection that-- at times introspective and confessional, at times perceptively aimed outward, toward a vertiginous world-- sails the pathway between trauma and healing.

Readers are taken aboard into a microcosm where wonder meets waterlogged torment and self-harm; where grief, euphoria and longing coexist; where womanhood is as joyful and dizzying an experience as it is searing; where peeling the layers of cultural identity is like plunging into the most opaque and briny deep. While the act of remembering has solitary, melancholy tinges, A cha Martine Thiam's pen never wavers, nor does it stray far from the impulse to bear witness, to do justice, and to connect with kindred souls.
