Greetings from a Myna

"Love you give not to receive"

"My heart is now praying, To continue living..."

Raw and unbridled, the poems and photographs you would find in this collection captures the life-changing journey and adventure of self-discovery of love and lost faced by a young Muslim woman having lived in the West for college and work experience. Afiqah's work touches on love, home, family, faith, loss, identity, mental health, and society. Told in a refreshing view of an individual who is neither an migr nor a refugee, these poems capture the beauty of differences that points to a bigger common ground of human feelings. Inspired by poets from the East and West, her relationships, and surroundings, these poems reflect the soul of a maturing young lady navigating her way through the precarious globalized world to inspire others.
