Spectral Forest - Paperback

by Nisha Bhakoo (Author)

In Spectral Forest, the symbol of the forest is used to explore gothic and uncanny themes of haunting, telepathy, and strange repetitions. Nisha Bhakoo draws upon numerous treescapes to explore contemporary forms of human intimacy, and connection and disconnection from the natural world. Throughout her poems and polaroids, that focus mainly on her home city of Berlin, she shares insights on both personal and collective issues relating to rootlessness, alienation, exploitation of natural resources, and deforestation.
