***A NAMA Award-winning collection of poems***

"Resilience - in particular the resilience of women - is at the heart of this gloriously vibrant collection... Vazhure guides us through the complexity of human relationships, deftly navigating between memories and dreamscapes, vivid narratives and internal dialogues, tumultuous physical encounters and quiet contemplation. The emotional register is wide-ranging. Love, grief, betrayal, desire and suffering are unflinchingly laid bare in richly textured poems with striking use of sensory imagery... Read this collection. You are in for a treat."
-Marian Christie

"In her latest offering, Samantha Rumbidzai Vazhure invites the reader to discover the rich world of African womanhood. With meticulous structure and vivid detail, Starfish Blossoms explores the vagaries of patriarchy and women's hard-won victories, amid the abstractions of love, growth and death. A must-read."
