Your Crib, My Qibla interrogates loss, the death of a child, and a father’s pursuit of language able to articulate grief.
Derek Walcott Prize for Poetry Winner
Julie Suk Award Winner
Nigeria Prize for Literature shortlist
Your Crib, My Qibla interrogates loss, the death of a child, and a father’s pursuit of language able to articulate grief. In these poems, the language of memory functions as a space of mourning, connecting the dead with the world of the living. Culminating in an imagined dialogue between the father and his deceased daughter in the intricate space of the family, Your Crib, My Qibla explores grief, the fleeting nature of healing, and the constant obsession of memory as a language to reach the dead.
