The poems in In Love with the Broken address the angst of the unheard, the marginalized making it to the next day during a pandemic. They speak of the dual reality in which an immigrant is supposed to be “happy”, is supposed to “love” a country while the unloving continues; the unseen microaggressions towards the immigrant in a seemingly welcoming country with its institutions that allow violence against its marginalized folks.
In Love with the Broken is an elegy as a collective work. It is singing an unendearing dirge for the dead yet zombie institutions that hold us together somehow without caring for the wounded, the injured, the still-alive.
