Unmoorings: Poems from a Life in Constant Flux

From Mauritius to Mexico, from Sarajevo streets to Atlantic port cities, Unmoorings traces the movements of a restless, sharp-minded woman who has lived many lives in one. These poems travel through tourism, migration, labor, digital culture, social inequality, and memory and identity. The poetry collection, the author's first, holds space for intimacy, irony, and refusal. With a keen eye for power and its quiet violences, Ribeiro captures the textures of gender, class, and dislocation. Family stories intersect with news feeds; colonial traces surface beside modern-day fatigue; romance occasionally peeks out from between bits of social critique. Tender and unsparing, Unmoorings traces the costs and rewards of movement-and the contradictions that linger in its wake.
