Earth Up Your Roots is the third 'Elemental' poetic collection by author, teacher and activist Selin Senol-Akin, incorporating- alongside new, vulnerably inspiring poetry- punchy and twisty short stories and an original play. In 'Roots', the author explores the concept of self-acceptance through healing one's familial and cultural traumas- with 'the good' as well as 'the bad'- in order to fully blossom. Across various geographies, timelines and age groups, the author explores what it means for different characters to be affected by their roots. From an older lady stuck between her own past and the future of her son in ' Ruby' and an author meeting a most mysterious fan in 'Theresa', to the forbidden love story between Turkish-born Gulay and Armenian Tigran in 'The Rose Moon' - Senol-Akin presents the reader with seven page-turning short stories. She concludes her nature-fused theme in the final chapter titled 'Bloom' with 'Zelle ': an original playscript based on the tragic life of the multi-cultural, legendary dancer and accused WWI spy, Mata Hari.
