  1. 1. Nothing More To Lose

    A luminous collection of poems that confronts exile, memory and the politics of homeland through a spare, musical lyric voice; intimate domestic moments and desire sit beside stark images of displacement, violence and collective history. The speaker moves between personal ache and public witness, fusing myth, everyday detail and direct political address to interrogate identity, loss and the boundaries—geographic, linguistic and emotional—that shape life. Throughout, tenderness, longing and sharp irony become forms of resistance and survival, insisting on human dignity amid rupture.
