1 y separately published work icon Stop All the Clocks Magan Magan , Canberra : Verity La , 2024 29242147 2024 selected work poetry

'Stop All the Clocks contains twenty-one poems, each responding to a film that has brought me comfort throughout my life. The title of each poem is borrowed from the title of its corresponding film. In these poems, I draw parallels between the themes of each film and my own life story. This collection serves as a reclamation of my humanity against the apostasy and anti- gay laws in Islam and represents a point of healing after experiencing narcissistic abuse under my mother’s theocratic rule. I write this small collection not as a victim, but as an individual who was once victimised by Islamic tyranny and parental abuse, yet has now been empowered by Australia, which granted me the freedom to enact my natural agency. Through this journey, I have escaped the bondage of man’s enslavement and his continued insistence on living in a state of self-imposed immaturity, even after reaching maturity.'
