H.D. & Bryher: An Untold Love Story of Modernism takes on the daring task of examining the connection between two queer women, one a poet and the other a historical novelist, living from the late 19th century through the 20th century. When they met in 1918, H.D. was a modernist poet, married to a shell-shocked adulterous poet, and pregnant by another man. She fell in love with Bryher, who was entrapped by her wealthy secretive family. Their bond grew over Greek poetry, geography, ancient history and literature, the telegraph, and telepathy. They felt their love-and their true identities existed invisibly- a giddy, and disturbing element to their relationship; they lived off and on in distant geographies, though in near continual contact. This book exposes why literary history has occluded this love story of the world wars and poetic modernism.

Silence That Speaks: Short Stories by Indian Muslim Women
This ground-breaking anthology brings together 38 short stories culled from<br>over a century of writing by Muslim women from colonial and postcolonial<br>India. Selected from different Indian languages, it includes fascinating stories<br>by celebrated and emerging authors. It also excavates stories from early women's<br>journals such as Tehzeeb-e-Niswan, Saogat, and Indian Ladies' Magazine.<br>Written in different styles, modes, and forms, the stories deconstruct cultural<br>essentialism often involved in imagining Muslim womanhood and reflect upon<br>the diversity of imagined and lived experiences. They challenge sundry labels, <br>explore intersections of identities, debunk several myths, and demonstrate how<br>the authors navigate the world of voices and silences. Ranging from imaginary<br>geographies to topographies of Muslim ghettos, most of these powerful stories<br>narrate the spaces that Muslim women inhabit, and delineate their courage, <br>desires, freedom, struggle, and myriad subjectivities.
