These bold poems explore power, freedom, water, memory, and \"how \/ we hold history in our splitting bodies.\" The speaker opens herself to the opacity of human connections where \"passion can be a seafarer, \/ a daily resurrection\" and \"faithfulness \/ a long hesitation.\" Who--or what--do we betray when we roam other bodies? What roles do history, religion, art, and culture play in our infidelities? Rome stands as a crossroads of Mediterranean migration and diaspora--a symbolic center where cultures and civilizations interact and transform one another. What happens when the past and present, the city and the lover, truth and falsehood collide? \u003ci\u003eRoma Roam\u003c\/i\u003e offers a startling way of fathoming the enigmatic world--and our tenuous belonging within it. Wild, sexy, visionary, and unpredictable, the collection insists on desire as both rupture and revelation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 126\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 x 9.02 x 6.07 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46399785173127,"sku":"9781962131148","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/83UJ0ZK-1_9781962131148.webp?v=1793584251","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/roma-roam-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
