Description
In these luminous poems, Safia Elhillo traces the lives of girls and young women who refuse erasure—moving through memory, myth, and the everyday with fierce tenderness. Across a series of lyrical scenes and emotional turns, the collection follows how identity is shaped by family, language, and belonging, while also confronting the pressures that try to silence or shrink a self. With themes of resilience, grief, and transformation, the book finds power in the in-between spaces where survival becomes art. Elhillo’s distinctive, music-forward style blends intimacy with imaginative reach, creating a haunting, hopeful chorus that lingers long after the last line.
