Lamentations
In Lamentations, Subhash Jaireth composes a river of voices philosophical, tender, and reverent flowing through landscapes of memory, loss, and renewal. Part meditation, part love story, and part elegy for the natural world, these prose poems move between rivers and deserts, Bash and Hafez, Australia and Persia, tracing how water remembers, how language listens, and how grief transforms into grace.
Through the dialogue of two consciousnesses intimate, questioning, and profoundly attuned Jaireth explores the porous boundaries between the human and the elemental. Rivers become voices, rocks become listeners, and words themselves turn liquid, carrying echoes of the world's oldest stories.
A work of rare beauty and wisdom, Lamentations is both a hymn to water and a quiet reckoning with what it means to belong to a place, to another, and to the earth itself.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
