D’or Seifer’s debut poetry collection, On Being Un/Able to Walk Through Walls, is a lyrical journey across three continents and generations. Divided into three parts, each section reflects a different phase of Seifer’s life, exploring the complex interplay between displacement and belonging.

As a third-generation emigrant, Seifer’s verses weave together themes of cultural identity, historical legacy, and personal mythology. Her poetry navigates the tensions between distant roots and present realities, offering a nuanced perspective on heritage and home in our increasingly globalised world.

Through evocative language and vivid imagery, Seifer invites readers to contemplate the invisible barriers we face and the walls we long to transcend.
