Weightless Books

In this collection, each poem flows like water on the page. The author weaves in stories و mantras و revolutionary messages و the movement of Arabic letters و the memory of Sumerian cuneiform. This book is a hybrid creature between poem-story-form that crosses genres like it crosses dimensions. In this work, you are the mermaid. You are the forever migrant, a traveler between the oceanic and the extraterrestrial, across continents and planets. You are a time traveler, and you speak many languages. You are LA SYRENA, conjuring your own space to feel free. Winner of the Dzanc Diverse Voices Prize.
