Lyrical and deeply human, Zohra Baqeri’s Where the Light Enters…explores the themes of oppression, pain, fear, identity, dreams, and resilience with raw honesty and emotional depth. Through shifting moments of darkness and hope, the collection traces what it means to endure, to question, and to remember oneself amid hardship. It reminds us that even in life’s darkest moments, the human spirit still searches for light—and rises toward it.
