Khairani Barokka's second poetry collection is a profound exploration of colonialism and environmental injustice. Through her intricate and interwoven language, she establishes clear connections between the exploitation of fellow humans, landscapes, animals, and ecosystems by colonial powers. The devastating consequences of this exploitation are evident, affecting not only human populations but also the natural world. However, amidst the overwhelming damage, there emerges a resolute resistance. Barokka's poems are resonant and deeply attentive, juxtaposing the lyricism of her writing with the traumatic circumstances from which they emerge. Through these defiant and potent verses, the body, particularly the disabled body, is positioned as an ecosystem in its own right. Barokka's poems are not only alarming, urgent, and luminous but also essential in the age of climate catastrophe, as a result of colonial violence.
