almost satori: poems for mediation

Almost Satori is a meditative collection of poetry and prose rooted in themes of self-enquiry, intersectional identity and non-dual awareness.

through their poems, mokradi explores the co-existence of transgenerational memories and mythologies while also calling to attention the deep compassion of solitude in nature.

by drawing parallels to ongoing crises in social othering, climate change and collective trauma, mokradi invites readers to travel beyond their addictions to clinging, prejudice and opinions - often informed by self-centered ignorance.

accordingly, the terseness of the verses aim to capture the imagination of all Zen aficionados and poetry lovers - at the same time, inspiring readers to spark their own brilliant flashes of insight within the context of their lived experiences.
