The Shadow of My Ancestral Tree speaks of many young women's experiences, particularly the children of immigrant parents. It is a collection of poetry about life, which explores themes such as trauma, grief, heartbreak, politics, family, hope, feminism and race. Offering both an introspective and outward-looking perspective on these themes, this collection goes beyond the personal musings of the individual and highlights social issues affecting the collective. These poems encourage change, turning stories of sorrow into stories of hope. The Shadow of My Ancestral Tree is a collection created to bring comfort and companionship to the voiceless whilst paying homage to those who broke their backs planting trees so the next generation could feel their shade.
