Through the figure of Othello, this collection layers migration, Black identity, the body, and theatrical self-portraiture. Voices moving across London, Paris, and Venice rise by moving between history and personal experience.

Using Shakespeare's figure, it reconstructs modern migration and the experience of the Black body.

This debut collection weaves the experience of diaspora from Mogadishu to London through poems, prose, and message fragments. It portrays the loss of home and the feeling of movement with both critical edge and humor.

It unspools the realities of diaspora and movement through varied voices and forms.

Centering funeral ritual and reverence for the ancestors, this poem gives loss and inheritance a prayer-like voice. Private grief is quietly connected to collective memory and cultural practice.

Within funeral ritual, it calls back the memory of family and community.
