Hiraeth: Selected Poems
A selection of poems written over three years, Hiraeth deals with themes of love—in all its forms—loss, and a sense of longing for something past, distant, or unattainable. "Holding out for the things that fade with the night" is how Yossie once described her love for poetry and her inspiration as a writer.
In Hiraeth, one gets a glimpse of scents, moments, and faces — the things that fade, and yet remain.
