When Language Left Me details Farzana Marie's sudden and heartbreaking loss of language as the result of a brain injury (a massive stroke) she suffered in Afghanistan in 2015.
But much more than that, this deeply engaging and wildly honest collection of poems-all written AFTER her stroke, WITH aphasia-is ultimately a triumph of the human spirit, as Farzana fights her way from a coma in the Middle East, to a hospital bed in Phoenix, Arizona, to effortful recovery efforts in Tucson, and, ultimately, to a rich and full life in New Mexico with her husband and young daughter.
At times facing the pain and struggle head on, and at other times allowing herself to laugh and revel in unexpected joys, what remains constant is Farzana's indomitable will to forge a path of beauty and purpose-and to invite others to join her in that journey!
