About the author:
Sierra Selwa Aldulaimi is an Iraqi-American woman, born and (mostly) raised in Southern California. Dabbling in writing, music, sketching, etc., she considers herself a creative rather than an artist. Having lost her father as a teenager, Sierra’s writing primarily focuses on existing with grief, instead of “curing” it.
She loves to travel, but is a homebody at heart, spending time with her cat, Beyoncé. Sierra is intensely sentimental and would spend all her time going through old photo albums if she could.
Figs & Falling
Spanning six years, this poetry collection is the sweetness and agony of trekking into adulthood, while already too familiar with loss. Figs & Falling reckons with the existential and the trivial and all the places they overlap. Dated like a journal, Aldulaimi navigates the expiration of adolescence and the circular nature of emotion.
