More Description

Young South African poet Yoshira Marbel experiences such a complex and profound state of emotional turmoil in her everyday life that it leaves even the most experienced doctors at a loss for words; their official diagnosis for her was 'Unspecified'. Yoshira has invested years of her life in the painful struggle to do what her doctors could not; both in finding a path through the troubles of her life and in expressing her depression, heartbreak, emptiness, anger, and suffering through poetry. 'Unspecified' is her first published collection, exploring themes which are familiar to most of us, to one degree or another, but amplified through the lens of Yoshira's honesty, intensity, and natural lyricism.
