In this powerful anthology, twenty poets grapple with the complexities of identity, memory, and social justice. From searing personal narratives to expansive meditations on the human condition, these lyrical works confront the legacies of colonialism, racism, and displacement. Readers are swept into vivid scenes of joy and anguish, triumph and loss. Beneath the surface, a chorus of voices demands accountability and envisions a more equitable future.
