Cactus Fruit Marron Gebremeskel

Cactus Fruit is the debut collection of poems by Marron Gebremeskel -- an Eritrean-American mother, wife, attorney, businesswoman and adjunct professor. Her poems tell the story of an Eritrean-American woman in search of her role in life and place in the world through topics such as identity, love, motherhood, friendship, and emotions. Her poems, like prickly and sweet cactus fruit, discuss the pains and pleasures she has experienced.
