    About this ebook

    Until I Learned What It Meant is Yena Sharma Purmasir's first book of poetry. The book is divided into three parts, weaving together themes of racism, sexism, body image, and overarching themes of love: love of the self, romantic love, love of tradition, and love for god. Purmasir writes with an intensely original and unique style that is sure to be a favorite to read over and over again.

    Ana on Goodreads says: "She is truly talented and her writing will make you get goosebumps."
