Description
Invasive Species
Marwa Helal's searing poems address our collective humanity and build pathways for empathy, etching themselves into memory. This work tackles urgent themes in our cultural landscape, creating space for the voices of those affected by discriminatory foreign policy: migrants, refugees, and the displaced.
The poet transfers lived experiences of dislocation and relocation onto the reader through language, obscuring borders to reveal unseen victims.
