Mildred Kiconco Barya Libri

In 100 thought-provoking textually original poems, Mildred Kiconco Barya explores elements of time and space on the landscapes of memory, observation, and experience at individual points and collective levels. This poet uses motion as a connecting thread for the seven parts of human experiences and livelihoods - revolving lives, stormy heart, before the sun sinks, the pain of tenderness, shame has a place, the shape of dreams, and until the last breath is drawn - to herald an inspiring collection of maturity and tenderness.

Through compassionate and playful fable-like poems, Mildred Kiconco Barya invites readers to reconnect with the vibrant non-human communities around them. The collection serves as a reminder of poetry's power to awaken wonder and empathy, offering solace and tenderness. With an innocence that allows for a fresh appreciation of the natural world, the poems create a sanctuary where all creatures can flourish. This work embodies joy and hope, encouraging a deeper understanding of our interconnectedness with nature.
