Publisher's Synopsis
"My My Maii, Where Am I?" is a raw, unflinching journey into the labyrinth of identity, mental health, and the relentless search for belonging in a world that demands conformity.
Through stark, vulnerable verse, Maii Fallara confronts the deeply internalized battles of being a queer, trans, Black, and neurodivergent individual. This collection pulls back the curtain on the silent struggles with anxiety, the erratic pulse of mood swings, and the enduring echoes of past trauma. It's a defiant cry against the societal pressures that label, diminish, and dictate, challenging misogyny, the insidious grip of capitalism, and the disorienting noise of disinformation.
From the aching loneliness of seeking authentic connection to the solace found in art and the quiet wisdom of a growing plant, Fallara's poetry is a testament to resilience. It is a powerful exploration of what it means to be truly seen, truly heard, and truly whole in a world determined to break you apart.
For anyone who has felt like an alien in their own skin, grappled with unseen wounds, or fought to define their truth amidst the chaos, "My My Maii, Where Am I?" offers a resonant voice, a shared breath, and an unwavering invitation to embrace the beautiful, messy process of becoming.
