Map of the Self
by Mona Dash
£9.99
Paperback:
In Map of the Self, Mona Dash traces the intricate landscapes of identity, belonging, and human connection with clarity, lyricism and emotional depth. Divided into two related parts, the first charts our inner terrain and explores memory, language, and the shifting borders of selfhood. In the second part, the poems examine how the self is shaped and reshaped in relation to others: in love and loss, in intimacy and estrangement, in family and society.
Whether navigating the dislocations of diaspora or the quiet revelations of everyday life, Dash writes with a voice that is both intimate and expansive. She invites the reader to walk alongside her, to pause at key moments along the way, and perhaps to locate and reimagine parts of her own story.
A poetic atlas for anyone seeking home—within and beyond themselves.
