Through narration that is creative and delicate yet unflinchingly powerful, in When I’m Out of Here: Staying Human in a Dictator’s Jail Hanna allows us to hear the voices of thousands of other Belarusian protesters.

Many tend to categorise poets and their poems as being inspired by either protest or the personal as if these categories have no connection. But Ribwort has both, and Komar’s power lies in the ability to delve into what binds them together.

I’ve read your Body in Progress and was impressed. I admire your genius to find incredibly accurate words to describe feelings and experiences. Looking forward to giving it 5 stars on Goodreads!
