ya helu, a poetry chapbook

A collection of poetry that plays with ideas and characters as poetic portraiture and landscape.

ya helu is a collection of poems that I wrote as a poetic self-portrait following the past few years since my mother passed away.

While writing, I didn't want to be too self-centred in my approach to these poems. Instead, I tried to write about the people, ideas and activities that I gravitated towards during this time; I wrote about what I found most engaging about them as a way of painting a picture of myself. The indirect approach to self-examination is sometimes more accurate and appropriate.
