Write It in the Hearts of Women

Often there is emotional turmoil that erupts within the very essence of a woman's being yet so many women are unable to speak the words of their aching hearts. Hinemoa Pourewa is the poetic instrument of this pain. She is a voice compelled to announce women's silent fears. Through these pages a hand is stretched out in earnest to hold seek comfort and above all share truth. Pourewa's poetry exhibits self-honesty and self-reflection. She faces issues that many women find too painful or even embarrassing to discuss. Yet she finds the courage to share her struggles in turn helping others in similar situations. A cry for sisterhood yearns to be heard so that a solitary voice may rise in unison. A pathway is lit and a light-bearer rises out of the abyss to cry I am a survivor!
