This poetry collection blooms from the soil of memory and identity. Hailing from a rich tribal heritage, Leisan’s poetry is an intimate dialogue between tradition and selfhood (between what is inherited and what is chosen). Through themes of love, longing and resilience, she crafts verses that echo with the quiet strength of women and the restless pulse of human emotion.

Deeply influenced by the haunting passion of Emily Brontë and the fearless voice of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Leisan’s work bridges the past and the present where passion meets introspection and where silence finds its language in verse. Each poem is an act of remembrance and rebellion which is an attempt to understand the world by feeling it deeply.
