Embedded in her poems are colors, elements, and sensations that evoke painful memories related to deep-seated remnants of trauma, war, and diaspora. Yet rooted in these losses and dangers also lie opportunities for mending and reflecting, evoking a distinct sense of hope. Elegant and traditional, the poems in \u003ci\u003eFuchsia\u003c\/i\u003e examine what it means to both recall the past and continue onward with a richer understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMahtem Shiferraw \u003c\/b\u003eis a native of Ethiopia and Eritrea and now lives in Los Angeles, California.
