They say you are born in the times in which you are meant to evolve, and, while that may be true, evolution is neither easy nor something any one can confidently hold in the palm of their hands and claim as their own. This collection of free verse poems, inspired by the many diverse challenges and varied experiences faced, over the course of the past four years, in the two vastly different worlds of Lahore, Pakistan and Sydney, Australia, wishes to make no such evolutionary claims. It has, however, evolved out of a need to pause, process and make sense of some of what a day or night, a face or a place, a thought or an emotion, brings to the one who stops to observe it. Sometimes it makes sense and at others it doesn’t, and this collection acknowledges the coexistence of both in any given moment. And so, if you are looking for answers and clarifications in the hope of cracking the code, keep reading, for you’ll notice, so am I.
