This is not just a poetry collection. It is a record of what could not be silenced.
In The Leftovers, Roxana Sheidaie traces the story of a nation through memory, loss, and resistance. From inherited stories of a country once alive with possibility, to the voices that rose in the streets, to the silence that followed, and the lives that were taken, this collection bears witness to a history still unfolding.
These poems move through exile, grief, courage, and the unbearable weight of survival. They honor those who gave their lives for freedom, those who were never named, and those who remain, carrying both memory and responsibility.
Raw, intimate, and unflinching, The Leftovers is a testament to a people who refused to disappear, and a reminder that even in silence, something continues to speak.
