Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For author Zakiah Sayeed, baring her soul to the world, releasing these intensely personal thoughts and feelings, is a freeing experience. Within these pages is solace and inspiration, happiness and sorrow, and a warm feeling of connection and shared understanding. Free verse poetry and flash fiction, it relies on stream of consciousness and ethereal connection cascading into awareness rather than preconceived rhythm and rhyme, her words true to the cadences of being, each a pulse—a reflection—that when viewed in their whole portrays a stunning breadth of emotion with resonance and beauty. Combined with prose and artfully crafted letters that provide insight into her life, her children, and her grandchildren, her fearless honesty displays for all to see the truth of her being.

Book excerpt: This volume brings together for the first time the entire range of the shorter pieces of imaginative writing that she continued to produce throughout her life, together with her final account of the vision informing her life's work. It rescues Schreiner from the charge of having exhausted a slim talent in one semi autobiographical novel and provides a context in which to situate a woman writer whose idealist concerns recognised no simple geographical boundaries. To picture her as first and foremost a colonial writer or, alternatively, primarily as a member of the finde-siecle British avant garde, does little justice to the links she made in her own writing and to the complex situation she occupied, for Olive Emilie Albertina Schreiner's life (1855-1920) straddled two centuries and two continents, while her travels between the land of her birth, South Africa, and her family's European homeland embroiled her in the political ferment of two wars: the Boer War (1899-1902) and the first World War (1914-1918).

You say that my love is plain, But that I can never allow When I look at the thought for others That is written on her brow. The eyes are not fine, I own, She has not a well-cut nose, But a smile for others' pleasures And a sigh for others' woes: Quick to perceive a want, Quicker to set it right, Quickest in overlooking Injury, wrong, or slight. Nothing to say for herself, That is the fault you find! Hark to her words to the children, Cheery and bright and kind. Hark to her words to the sick, Look at her patient ways; Every word she utters Speaks to the speaker's praise. "Nothing to say for herself," Yes! right, most right, you are, But plenty to say for others, And that is better by far. Purity, truth, and love, Are they such common things? If hers were a common nature, Women would all have wings. Talent she may not have, Beauty, nor wit, nor grace, But, until she's among the angels, She cannot be commonplace. Arthur Heathcote. The Virtuous Woman. A FAREWELL BIBLE LESSON TO GIRLS ON LEAVING SCHOOL. "Wisdom ordereth all things strongly and sweetly."-WISDOM viii. 1 (Vulg.). It would be interesting to make a "Garden of Women" from the poets, collecting the pictures of "Fair Women" they have drawn for us, but I want to consider specially the ideal woman of that ancient poet Solomon, and to see how far she can be translated into modern life. The subject ought to be considered by you who are leaving a school you have loved and valued, and which you should commend to the world, by showing that it has made you fit for home. Beaumaris School has a blank shield for its arms, with the motto, "Albam exorna," "Adorn the white;" you are all starting with white shields, and you can adorn the white: it is not only in Spenser that we find Britomarts. You are as much a band of champions as were King Arthur's Knights; you have all the same enemy, have made the same vows, and for a year have been in fellowship, learning and practising the same lessons: can you help feeling that there is a responsibility laid on you, to see that the world shall be the better because of you? Be like Sir Galahad with his white shield on which "a bloody cross" was signed, when he had fought and won. You know that I admire the old-fashioned type of woman-the womanly woman, -and you will not suspect me of wishing you to start off "on some adventure strange and new," but I do want you not to be content to lead a commonplace life; you must, anyway, live your life: resolve that by God's grace you will live it nobly. You cannot alter the outward form of your life, -you will probably be surrounded by very commonplace household duties, and worries, and jars, -but you can be like King Midas, whose touch turned the most common things to gold....
