Paradise

Rewriting Eden by Victoria Redel explores the concept of paradise through the lens of borders, exile, and diaspora, shaped by a personal and historical history of flight and refuge. The collection intertwines themes of religion, myth, and nation-building while examining physical and symbolic boundaries, including those between life and death. With poetic lyricism, the poems delve into how trauma and migration influence identity and imagination, prompting reflection on the roots of contemporary global crises.
