The January Children by Safia Elhillo

The poems weave together personal narratives with historical and cultural references, delving into the struggles of navigating between different worlds and the longing for a sense of home. The work is imbued with a deep sense of nostalgia and a quest for understanding one's roots, while also addressing broader issues of colonialism and its lingering impacts on identity and memory.
