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.

Uses a reflection on Othello to be quietly but powerfully challenging about being a Black man in Venice, Paris, Oxford. Moves between Jamaica and Europe and between childhood memory and young adult experiences. Complex and beautiful.
