Encounters

By Toeti Heraty

The subject of Toeti Heraty's poetry ranges from human encounters in an age of conceit to the confessions of an ever-restless soul. Many of Heraty's poems give voice to the emotional struggles and disappointments of women. They show a clear feminist influence; yet their method of confronting the patriarchy is not always direct. Instead, Heraty quietly questions the complicity of a world that represses women. A whole spectrum of emotions reveal themselves in Heraty's poetry; but if there is a unifying theme, it is the constant need in life for discovery and encounters. In turn, her poetry is about the strong human need to analyze and speak of one's state of mind.
