Overview

In Songs for the Only Son, Yve Noorzai crafts a poetic odyssey through grief, starting with the profound loss of an uncle-the solitary male in a family of nine. The verses trace Yve's personal evolution, from reflections on upbringing to contemplations of ancestors and the haunting specter of imperialism. With a tone blending mourning and hope, inspired by the literary mastery of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, this collection goes beyond individual pain, addressing broader themes of colonialism, trauma, and the transformative power to break generational cycles. Each poem in this evocative journey encapsulates the complexity of human emotion, offering solace and profound insights into the forces that shape our familial and cultural narratives. Songs for the Only Son is a compelling exploration of loss, resilience, and the enduring hope found within the folds of contemplation. Yve Noorzai, a native of California's Central Coast, brings a unique blend of coastal inspiration and literary prowess to the world of poetry. With a Master's degree in English from Arizona State University, Yve has dedicated a decade to the art of teaching writing, imparting the craft to eager minds.
