Brewing Storms
The stories of men, as seeker and teacher, abound in the pages of heritage texts and literary works, but the stories of women are rare. Brewing Storms is a collection of poems that offers a window into the spiritual path of one young woman as she navigates her way through the storms of the soul. The poems provide a deep and honest insight into the challenges of growth and spiritual development along with moments and memories of profound fulfillment experienced along the way. The beauty of poetry as an art form is that it can touch readers no matter what their path or background, and it is hoped this collection will speak to those emotions and experiences which bind us searching, struggle, love and longing. 'Brewing Storms is a collection of poetry written by a natural poet... I hope that as you read her work, you will catch a glimpse of this path for yourself, and perhaps your brewing storms will find their sun, clouds, rain, storms, and sun again.' - Anse Tamara Gray, Founder of Rabata

About the author
A.M. Ramzy
1 book19 followersAM Ramzy is a poet and linguist. She was born in Oxford in the UK, where she grew up.
Her undergraduate degree in Oriental Studies at Oxford, during which she studied both Arabic and Persian, allowed her to delve into the depths of classical and modern literature of these beautiful languages. Though this fuelled her love of poetry, which she had demonstrated from a young age, it was not until 2009, when she visited Damascus where she lived for a year, that she uncovered her passion for writing. Brewing Storms, her first anthology, ensued.
She is currently reading for a PhD in Education at the University of Oxford, which she hopes to use in the development of Arabic curricula for English speakers, and teaches English Literature, and Arabic at various institutions in the UK and online.

Gives me goosebumps and echoes so many sentiments as someone walking the path of faith through varying life circumstances. Definitely a great read (and re-read).

3.5/5
Enjoyable poems, there were a lot of emotions expressed. There were a handful of ones that I loved. The majority felt repetitive though, and similar word choice was used in each one. Not a ton of variety but still overall a good collection of poems!

It has a deeper meaning, I could relate to some of the poems. It was kind of depressing, but it was a good read overall

Beautiful poetry in both style and content. I felt a deep emotional response to a few of the poems, including Shattered. Truly moving.
