Chasing Shadows (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781039128743)

In Chasing Shadows, Toronto writers Adi Dasgupta, Kishan Baskaran, and Jamil Shamji invite you to explore dark places through verse and rhyme. This poetry anthology attempts to break down walls and find safe spaces in forgotten communities to be vulnerable, to be accountable, and perhaps, to heal. Compiled within this collection are narratives of violence, community, poverty, relationships, loss, sickness, and men's mental health. Inspired by lived experience on the fringes, and professional backgrounds supporting marginalized populations in Toronto, the writers endeavor to shed light on uncomfortable truths. Generous and defiant, these contemporary poems encourage honest and critical self-reflection. Reconciling with the mess. Finding rhythm to the chaos. Letting go with words. Chasing shadows.
