Trip Back Nirvan Hope

'Trip Back - Windows to the Past', a collection of seventeen both brief, and extended, memoir pieces, follows Nirvan Hope's outer life from a childhood in Gibraltar, England and Nigeria, to memories of Morocco, Greece, New York, India, Oregon, New Mexico, Peru, Washington State, Utah, Arizona, south England, Wales and Australia. She uses both poetry and prose to navigate an inner world journey of self-discovery while examining a history of race, suicide, LGB and abandonment, through which she moves forward with energetic optimism to deeper/higher experiences of self-awareness, leading to greater understanding and maturity.
