Poems - Paperback

by Israfil Sahibdeen (Author)

Israfil Sahibdeen's poetry collection, Movement of Words explores various themes in this 125-page book. Largely examining subjects such as love, death, belonging, life, nature, strength, resilience, and nationality to name a few. One of the most heartfelt themes focuses on nationality and belonging. A belonging that transcends the birthplace of his ancestors. As a Trinbagonian man, he indeed acknowledges his roots, and culture, in making him who he is today...But he pushes past that, and truly embrace his nationality as "Trini." This is evident is the poems "Image of my Ancestry" and "I am Trini". The poems create a memory stock, for many on life as we know and live, in a detailed description that is easily identifiable to many.
