Small Undetectable Thefts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781916938083)

In these astounding poems, Yanita Georgieva explores the different thefts and losses that accompany the human condition - from the theft of freedom and origin to that of loved ones and bodily autonomy. What happens after the theft? Can there be joy in it? At the heart of the pamphlet is an interrogation of grief, sexuality, and memory through the prism of the immigrant experience. Small Undetectable Thefts is an exploration of the ways in which our lives are marked by 'in-betweenness', loss and displacement, and what is gained as a result. A masterclass in the craft of the line, this is a pamphlet to savor and return to again and again.
