**Winner of the 2024 Dorothy Hewett Award** Time. Memory. Mirror. Past & Parallel Lives is a rippling reflection on being alien, queer, and other. These poems yearn for home and belonging after migration, religion, and coming out. Kaya Ortiz’s award-winning debut shines with authenticity this is a courageous departure from a past life, towards a queer future and a poetic return to self.
