I borrowed this book for no reason. On the QLL Libby library and I would say it is probably one of my favorite books of all time. It embodies me in a way both women (to a certain extent), Africans, both beaten and robbed of culture and heritage, both angry at the countries that subjugated us. Though I was not abandoned by my father or raped I understand her. We are connected and I feel that reading and listening to this book, to her story. This book is everything.

Thanks to NetGalley for giving me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!
This was a gruesome and raw collection of poems that hit really hard. It was a great collection that I loved reading, and for a debut poetry book, it was a solid collection and I really hope the author writes more!
