Habitat by Bashabi Fraser
In her latest collection, Habitat, Bashabi Fraser invites readers into a world where every experience, every person and every landscape becomes an abode, a habitat of sorts. Poetically woven, Fraser's verses guide us through the intricate spaces that form the tapestry of our lives.
Fraser challenges the conventional rules and structures of poetry, painting vivid portraits that reflect the diverse landscapes she's inhabited. Drawing from a life enriched by two distinct cultures and geographies, she intertwines the narratives of her dual heritage, exploring the common threads that bind these seemingly disparate worlds.
At the heart of Habitat lies an exploration of our individual odysseys – the paths we've traveled, the places we call home and the connections we forge with these habitats. The collection delves into the essence of our surroundings, drawing attention to our relationship with them and how they shape our identity.
Fraser's poetic venture is a tribute to the multiplicity of human experiences and the profound connection we share with the spaces we inhabit. It's an introspective journey that celebrates the diversity of habitats and the intricacies of our relationship with them, leaving readers to contemplate their own stories and connections to the environments they call home.
