Introducing Mariam Shams Tabrez and her unique poetic maximalism—a
voice you’ll be glad you found after reading Scattered: A Series of
Poems.
Coming of age in today’s world is a mess for many. The complex
dynamics of relationships, self-care, roles in society, and more
can muddy the waters of what you want versus what the world wants
for you. In her new poetry collection, Mariam takes readers on a
winding journey through her heart, mind, and soul with poems that
encapsulate romance, heartbreak, self-discovery, feminism, and
identity.
“The purpose of this book is to show poetry does not need to
follow a certain structure; it is truly an eclectic genre,” said
Mariam. “You never know where the next poem will take you.”
Bursting with passion and an unrelenting thirst to champion self
expression, Scattered is a must-read poetry book anchored by the
author’s experiences as an American woman of South Asian
descent.
For a real, raw, and relatable poetic experience, pick up
Scattered—and give voice to your heart.
