Description
A richly textured collection of poems, this work moves across New York, Ghana, Poland, and other cultural landscapes, uncovering the connections between personal memory, history, music, and place. Through vivid artifacts and evocative settings, the poems engage in a form of cultural excavation, bringing forgotten or overlooked experiences into sharp focus. Contemplative yet resonant, the collection explores identity, migration, belonging, and the ways art and memory preserve the past while continually reshaping the present.
