Bazar Oriental
Ebook
A Bazar Oriental is a corner shop, regularly disorganized, packed with school supplies, toys, electronics, pet food, kitchen utensils, birthday decorations, and an intense plastic scent that lingers on your outfit long after you've left the store. This collection of poetry resembles a chaotic bazar of moods and sentiments, of being disoriented, of not being able to distinguish homesickness from falling in love. It is a voyage divided in three parts, the present reality (Of Gibsons and Other Hurricanes), the past leading to the present (Of Bazars) and the last part, which is the ultimate yearning and goal (Of Home). Throughout the collection, the author is constructing the means to make it home unbroken.

Shqiponjë Ahmedi was born in 1992 in a charming, idle village in
North Macedonia. Her name has been mispronounced in the most
imaginative ways. Her father wrote her poems when she was a child
and has been reciting Drtitëro Agolli for as long as she can
remember. Throughout her childhood she would spend time in the
school library, where her mother works, “borrowing” books. The
books would later be found by her mother and returned safely to the
library. She has recently obtained her doctoral degree in
psychology of communication and change at the Autonomous University
of Barcelona, Spain.
