Mother Wound examines the inheritance of trauma through the lens of a daughter's experience of domestic violence and emotional abuse. These raw, vivid poems grapple with questions of identity as a girl becoming a woman, as well as a non-citizen living between homes, between countries. Structured around the rhythm cycle of Indian classical music (SA-RE-GA-MA-PA-DHA-NI-SA, equivalent to Western Solfège), Mother Wound explores the meaning of each note, mirroring the cycle of generational trauma that passes through women, echoed through language and recurring motifs, in the end composing songs of words to create shrines of safety and healing.
