cobhtachfan's review
slow-paced
3.5
I'm not sure how I feel about this collection. It didn't draw me in the way I hoped it would, but I think it is still very good poetry - I found the Othello section in the middle the most absorbing, but that might be because I have a thing for intertextuality...
casparb's review against another edition
lil reread. so so precise ,, enjoyed even more this time round
a Voice !
I have a suspicion this is one of those collections that people will underestimate because it achieves what it does from a few steps back. A real Moment that you almost have to chalk up what has been happening as it goes along to begin to feel what the overall looks like . beautiful writing on black masculinities too, ?in what felt to me a fresh vein
all to say I like it & its much-loved cover is right.
