Absolutely fantastic read featuring my all time favourite poem How To Raise A Man. Kisuule's voice as a writer is so witty and distinctive that every word she touches takes on a new and vibrant life. The whole collection flows and pulses with an infectious rhythm, covering topics from colonialism and experiences of black women to girls' nights out and sex. I thoroughly recommend this book and I've read it twice in its entirety and dipped into some specific poems when I felt I needed them most.

Evocative and honest cookbook of feelings. Read in one sitting with a wry chuckle caught between my teeth and a poignant sting in the corners of my eyes.
