Behind the cold numbers and rigid forms of the legal system lie unheard stories, fragile dreams, and human fates. This collection of poems is a lyrical journey through the shadows of immigration bureaucracy, from the anxious silence of the waiting rooms to the unwavering hope found at the advocate’s table. Written on behalf of a community and dedicated to Zach Morgenstern and the Don Valley Community Legal Services, these verses are a profound testament of gratitude. It is a book for anyone who has ever searched for a safe harbor, and for the hands that work tirelessly to lift others up.
