Habits of Light is a poetry collection unified by a sustained meditation on loss, love, destruction, abandonment, forgiveness, longing, and the many registers of light that illuminate and fracture human experience. Drawing on journeys of immigration, cultural adaptation, social exclusion, personal grief, and the gradual movement toward self-recognition, the collection consciously pushes creative boundaries to articulate the condition of living with two feet on two soils. Through attention to quiet, often overlooked moments, the poems probe the intertwining of emotional life, cultural identity, and existential reflection, seeking to offer readers not resolution, but solace, recognition, and a shared sense of humanity. At once intimate and expansive, Habits of Light situates the personal within themes that resonate broadly, marking it as a significant contribution to contemporary poetry.
