Description
In this long, lyrical poem, Yasmine lives an underground life—haunted by past actions and driven by the need to outrun regret. Moving across borders between Algiers, Cuba, and Canada, she navigates displacement and secrecy while keeping watch on the crises shaping the contemporary world. As her journey unfolds, the book braids personal memory with larger histories of violence, migration, and survival, asking what it means to bury the past and what it costs to keep running from it. With Dionne Brand’s distinctive, music-forward style and sharp political imagination, *Ossuaries* turns the act of crossing—geographical and emotional—into a meditation on endurance, accountability, and the fragile hope of return.
