Not This Tender

<p>Sarah Uheida's poetry collection Not This Tender is a profound exploration of memory navigating the landscape of the war-torn North Africa she was forced to flee as a child. It is a mythical yet deeply personal examination of longing and belonging estrangement loss and the influence of family and language presented through immersive portraits and the lens of a fractured landscape. Here poetry is wielded as both refuge and rupture in an excavation of the past - not to preserve it but to make sense of the future. Through its vivid evocative imagery the collection offers a powerful journey through the restless search for home and the fragile yet unrelenting hope of return.</p><p></p>
