Radna Fabias (Curaçao) tells her story in Habitus, a compelling poetic debut. She pulls out all the stops, demonstrating a stylistic range which stretches from experimental narrative verse to short, lyric pieces. Her verse keeps readers on their toes, inviting us to engage with vital themes like poverty, feminism, social inequality and sexism. But despite their serious subject matter, the poems sparkle with irony and wit, as Fabias searches for the meaning of home in this dazzling first collection.

Fabias is part of The Chronicles during the festival
