About the Book: All Thats Left Behind
All Thats Left Behind is a collection of poems that traverses memory,
displacement, queerness, love, and resistance. These poems inhabit the space
between elegy and erasure, where rivers remember, cities burn, and the body
becomes both archive and aftermath. A mothers trench coat from 1983, a mango
tree rooted in childhood, and a fathers black Bajaj scooter become charged
emblems in a poetics of radical compression and startling imagery. Here,
language is both refuge and rupture, where memory is rendered volatile yet
enduring. At once intimate and political, the collection meditates on what
remains after love, departure, and naming, transforming silence
