Stolen - Hardcover

by Foreign (Author)

Stolen is a poetic uprising.

In this searing and unforgettable collection, Olga Foreign delivers verse that does not whisper - it echoes, breaks, and rebuilds. Stolen journeys into the dark corners of history and memory, unearthing what was buried beneath conquest, silence, and forced forgetting.

Across these pages, land is cut, voices are seized, and time becomes a tool of possession. The poems do not document theft - they embody it. They are the cries of children taught to be silent. They are the quiet rage in lullabies passed down by women who remember too much to sleep soundly.

Yet Stolen is not just about what was taken - it is also about what remains. Resistance. Beauty. Memory. A girl in a yellow dress still skipping, still yelling, still alive.

With visual subtlety and emotional thunder, Olga Foreign fuses metaphor with movement - some verses read like elegies, others like manifestos. And woven through them all is a demand: to see, to name, and to feel what history tried to erase.

This book is not a mirror.

It is a door.

And on the other side,

the silence has finally broken.
