WHAT IS TRUE wellness? For Fariha Róisín, it means healing her wounds, personally and socially. Between the good days (“profound and excavating”) and the bad days (“painful and exhausting”), and moments of loneliness, the poet and interdisciplinary artist has poured herself into a vulnerable project. Her latest work of non-fiction, Who Is Wellness For? exposes naked truths and intimacies with deep care and daring.
