Starlost: I orbit absence

Acclaimed poet Fatma K. Al Mazrouei publishes her first major work, Starlost, a meditation on her personal journey where the past is as present as the future, in a world where your experiences continue to shape and guide you years, and sometimes decades, after they've supposedly receded into memory. Exploring themes of lost love and unrequited feelings, nostalgic memories that remain as tangible today as when they were first lived, and the inextricable way we are forever linked to our formative years, for better or worse, Starlost reflects on what it means to hold onto inexpressible thoughts and emotions in a fast-paced world that barely has time to hear itself.
