Book details

✹Fr⚘gm∞nts⊗ sits at the intersections of race, queerness, gender and trauma, exploring mis/re/membering through the splintering lens of complex trauma. Singh's linguistically complex and richly sensory poems move through the experience of losing memories and losing the self, to the process of recovering fragmentary memories and (re)finding the self in those fragments. These extraordinary poems flow across the pages, between countries and through time. opening up and exploring states of being and the transitions between them, and in the end coming to some kind of compassionate resolution.

    –

    Fragments by Tara Singh is a daring poetry pamphlet that sears and sings. Their work sculpts a poetic geography that reveals a fraught journey. The step, crunch, cut, blood of Singh’s maps, symbols, and personal vocabulary light a path to an intimate truth. This journey delineates questions and circumstances that come alive as vividly as the painful moon-cracks of each foreign day, as artfully as the green blade of survival. In these poems, ancestor traditions, daily doings and visions accompany the author to new places to experience nakedness, suffering, growth and finally a discovered identity, and the strength to endure.
    These poems reveal a way forward: for those who wake up foreign, for immigrants and migrants, for the mistreated and the misunderstood, for all who wander through this life.
    Fragments is a collection that breaks down poetic boundaries and flags a new path.
    Remarkable!
