The research sheds light on the mental, physical and spiritual torture that the poet underwent in the wake of dislocation from her parent land and dispossession of her mental and physical belongings. By deploying research method of Feminist critical discourse analysis, Zebian’s poetry is analyzed on three levels: personal, socio-cultural and normative level. This analysis helps elucidate tools and sites of resistance against gender disequilibrium in society; sexist and phallocentric discourse and homelessness. Resistance is perpetuated by the means of self-love, finding a home in the self, and exploring the artistic potential while staggering in liminal spaces.enThesis
