Split into three parts, Where The Memory Was, invites readers into a word full of blunt feeling and delicate poetics. Ranging in theme from inter-generational pain to reckless young love and battles with illness, these poems turn memory into a living aspect of our lives. These beautiful poems all cover the truths of a multi-layered identity and existing within structures, systems and histories that oppress. They range in theme from intergenerational trauma, love or lack of it and how our unique histories sometimes provide safety from the harshness of current reality.
Hibaq Osman is a Somali writer born and based in London. Her work largely centres women, identity and the healing process with a focus on the often hidden and nuanced aspects of our experiences. Her debut poetry collection A Silence You Can Carry was published with Out-Spoken Press in 2015. In 2017 she released her online poetry chapbook the heart is a smashed bulb. As a member of the OCTAVIA poetry collective, Hibaq works towards a future where funding and access to the arts for all is the norm and not an exception.
