Sunflowers for My Lovers

“Sunflowers. Bags. Splinters. The body. The bed. Old memories and spaces.

The poems of Zizipho Bam deal with tactile things and physical objects that connect to self (and the self’s multiplicity of selves). Using the body and its experience as inspiration, she reimagines longing, loss, and love and turns her stories into works of art. This is Bam’s debut collection.
