"The Shark in Quetta" is a poetry collection by the Chinese poet and novelist EAVAN HOWE, crafted from a feminine perspective to convey the idea that "our heart grows old, but love and ego do not." Through expressive and profound verses, the collection reveals the intricacies of human thoughts, desires, paranoid love, and obsessions. Highlighted in the collection is the key verse, "Eat, Eat, but men's mind and soul. Eat, Eat, but women's body, mind, and soul," vividly expressing the complexity of love and the inherent intentions of the 'very self.' This persistent form of bigotry is portrayed through profound silence, lurking in the darkness and at the heart of the forest.
While narrating the experience of walking through patches of abundant berries, the poet articulates a craving for life and a thirst for self-discovery, intertwining it with depictions of inner warfare. The entire collection serves as a reflection on self-discovery and contemplation of love and eternity, taking readers on a journey to witness the astonishment, joy, great sorrow, and a hint of fine sadness in things.
Lastly, the lines urging beloved ones to swallow her down explore the delicate relationship between life, death, flesh, and soul, delving into captivating imagery of the voracious shark gliding into the abyss. Appeals to neighbors evoke images of an old house, wild sunflowers, and orange faces, sketching a narrative of the passage of time and love.
"The Shark in Quetta" is a poetry collection rich in meaning and emotion. Through EAVAN HOWE's prose, it presents a unique insight into humanity, love, and self-awareness.
