Winner of the Sillerman First Book Prize for African Poets, Ethiopian American Mahtem Shiferraw\'s Fuchsia examines conceptions of the displaced, disassembled, and nomadic self.
Elegant and traditional, the poems in.
Yet rooted in these losses and dangers also lie opportunities for mending and reflecting, evoking a distinct sense of hope.
Embedded in her poems are colors, elements, and sensations that evoke painful memories related to deep-seated remnants of trauma, war, and diaspora.
