Dear Dad and I
Dear Dad and I is a poetic archive of becoming, son, man, lover, dad. In these pages, you’ll meet a Nabadoon, peacemaker, who trades betrothal for burial. A newborn learning to scream. A whisper of a mother who vanished mid-laugh. From Mandera to Mogadishu, faith to folly, this collection slips between grief and grace with both wit and ache. With reverence for oral storytelling and the irreverence of a prankster soul, these poems refuse to stay in one place. They sing lullabies to daughters and lament lost cities. They wander, remember, weep, and laugh. Above all, they tell the truth the way only poetry can: sideways, softly, and when you're not looking. For readers who’ve ever been a child or still are, ever had a father or have become one, ever lost a home or a mom, or found one in language, this book is for you!
