Rushika Wick's Infections of Loss is a searing exploration of how the past imprints itself on the body, weaving threads of harm and resilience through time and space. Through vivid, haunting poetry, the collection navigates the reverberations of adversity, documenting the unspoken hauntings of personal and collective histories. Here, eulogies meet acts of witness and moments of tentative reconciliation. Each piece ripples outward, charting how pain, shaped by systems and inherited through generations, lingers in the unseen folds of our lives. A lyrical reckoning, Wick's poetry confronts the intimate and systemic with both tenderness and unflinching honesty.
