As you embark on this poetic journey, Bougainvillea of My Dreams, crafted by Labiba Alam, be prepared to be mesmerised, challenged, and profoundly moved. For in her words lie universes waiting to be explored, emotions waiting to be felt, and truths waiting to be uncovered. ~ Tinat Atifa Masood Labiba’s poems take us through forgotten warmth, bougainvillaea, monochrome evenings, and wreathes of wildflowers. In her panoramic poetry, we can see the complexities of life and society through the rectangular sky of our apartments.
