The Longed For Longed For

The Longed For Longed For. Debut poetry collection by Sibani Sen. Cathexis Northwest Press.

This is a collection of poems voiced from the perspective of the migrant, the marginal and the estranged. It contains elegy, sorrow and ghost whispers that accompany the experiences of exile, loss, indentureship and death. Although these are borderland elegies, they are modes of keening, desiring, grasping, and, especially surviving that are universal. Existence, in these poems, is the condition of longing, with an invitation to solidarity, since we are all migrants in time.
