Niloofar Fanaiyan’s new book of poetry is a subtle, observant and gentle collection of poems that capture Fanaiyan’s unique voice, a voice searching for connections in and through all things, to find their dignified and respectful centre.
This first book of poetry by Niloofar Fanaiyan is about transit as both a physical and conceptual suspension of time and space. It touches on the intersections of people, place, culture and history experienced by travellers: the feeling of being stuck on the periphery while life continues elsewhere; and the possibilities inherent in every journey.
