Description

Dean Atta's new collection of poetry, There is (still) love here, offers a powerful exploration of relationships, love and loss. This personal and poignant work encompasses themes of LGBTQ+ and Black history, Greek Cypriot heritage, pride and identity, as well as dislocation and belonging.

The poems in this collection seek consolation and affirmation, providing an antidote for challenging times. They touch on the complexities of human experience, including blue feelings, homesickness, and the pressures of multiple roles. Yet, they also celebrate the recipes of home, gifts and giving, and the togetherness of community.

Through its exploration of love, loss, and identity, There is (still) love here offers a journey towards forgiveness, acceptance, queer joy, and self-acceptance. This collection is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for resilience and connection.
