Also available is Jagjeet Sharma's Measure of a Wo/Man.
What is the measure of a woman? She is immeasurable. She is strong. She is a double force to reckon with. Jagjeet Sharma’s “journalistic poetry” continues in this new poetry collection, Measure of a Wo/man.
Poems in this collection are about the Wo/man. The Hindu God Shiva’s ardhanishvara, a concept that she is both half man and half woman. Lord Shiva, one of the Hindu gods is referred to as the ultimate man, but one form of Shiva is also a fully developed woman. The masculine and the feminine are equally divided within yourself, within oneself. It is about the struggles and challenges a Wo/man faces day in and day out in any part of the world.
Jagjeet is an award-winning freelance journalist, poet, and author. She hosts a weekly radio show in Ottawa long with her team of dedicated volunteers at CKCU-93.1 FM. (Proceeds from the sales of Measure of a Wo/Man are donated to The Ottawa Heart Institute).
