{"product_id":"fuchsia-9780803285569","title":"Fuchsia","description":"Winner of the Sillerman First Book Prize for African Poets, Ethiopian American Mahtem Shiferraw's \u003ci\u003eFuchsia\u003c\/i\u003e examines conceptions of the displaced, disassembled, and nomadic self. Embedded in her poems are colors, elements, and sensations that evoke painful memories related to deep-seated remnants of trauma, war, and diaspora. Yet rooted in these losses and dangers also lie opportunities for mending and reflecting, evoking a distinct sense of hope. Elegant and traditional, the poems in \u003ci\u003eFuchsia\u003c\/i\u003e examine what it means to both recall the past and continue onward with a richer understanding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMahtem Shiferraw \u003c\/b\u003eis a native of Ethiopia and Eritrea and now lives in Los Angeles, California.
