The brutal murder of Saltanat Nukenova by her husband, Kuandyk Bishimbayev, former Minister of National Economy of Kazakhstan, sparked international outrage, especially in the post-Soviet region. Responses poured in on YouTube, with comments like Ukraine stands for Saltanat, Russia stands with you, and The whole world is watching and praying. Saltanat's death catalyzed a landmark law in Kazakhstan, criminalizing domestic violence, which was an unprecedented move in the post-Soviet space. Yet, domestic violence and rape remain rampant across these countries, including my native Russia. It's a grim reality that demands action. This book is a collection of stories giving voice to women who have been brutally silenced by a patriarchal and corrupt system, shedding light on their struggle. What if our voices could disrupt this cycle of oppression? How long will we wait, and how far are we willing to go for change?

I live in a glass coffin. It only has room for me, nobody can join me and I can't leave. (The Glass Coffin) Frequently rooted in mythology, the poems in this volume borrow figures and images in an attempt to make sense of contemporary experience. They explore themes like love, grief, mental health, and coping with chronic illness. Experimenting with form and tradition, they investigate the depths of emotion and trauma. Little glass coffins in themselves, the poems encapsulate and showcase aspects of the human experience. Enveloped in hues of blue and green, this debut anthology promises to captivate and inspire.
