Unlisted

In Unlisted, weather shifts, accents tilt, and departures accumulate. Set between Scotland and the Gulf, this contemporary poetry collection moves through airport terminals, memorial ceremonies, contract language, and domestic thresholds, asking what it means to live abroad inside overlapping systems: linguistic, economic, historical. Names are misheard. Wages are calculated. The wind turns above contested ground. Both intimate and political, Unlisted explores expat life, migration, identity, work, family history, language, and belonging, looking at what makes it into the record and what is left out. These poems trace the quiet costs of a life lived between forecasts, homes, and competing versions of belonging.
