The Slums of Nouakchott: A Poetry Collection

Slums of Nouakchott is a gritty, tender, and honest poetry collection chronicling the everyday lives, hopes, betrayals, survival, and hidden dignities of people living in the slum apartments of Nouakchott, Mauritania. The collection centers on Haratine natives, African immigrants, and women navigating systemic oppression, economic hardship, and cultural entanglements in a city that has become a liminal zone for wanderers and the forgotten.
