LOVESICK ANIMALS

This collection of new poetry offers a vivid journey through emotions—love, heartbreak, longing, and the ache of missing a past lover—set against the backdrop of the bustling Berlin metropolis. Crafted by a highly imaginative female author, a Zambian poet, navigating the loneliness of the 2020 pandemic, these poems weave a fictional world that captures the universal search for connection in a time of isolation. Lovesick and surrounded by temptations, she watches passing strangers during subway rides, turning fleeting moments into poignant verses of romance and short flings.
As her roommates' relationships flourished, she faced her solitude, visiting art galleries alone and finding comfort in writing about the four seasons of love and loss. Each poem reflects the melancholy beauty of urban life, the longing to be loved, and the ache of memories. Through these words, the poet explores the complex emotions of living in a city alive with people yet distant in heart, all while drifting through the underground rhythms of Berlin.
For readers who seek insight on how to write poems or are passionate about publishing, the poet's voice offers inspiration as she delves into the timeless themes of love, romance, and fleeting connections. Her work highlights the presence of women in literature, particularly from a Zambian perspective, adding a fresh and powerful voice to contemporary poetry.
