The River Is Rising by Patricia Jabbeh Wesley

4.0

There is so much beauty here, as there is immense sorrow. Each poem waters into the next poem and is also its own is(land) and it’s own country. The dead are alive here. Death is, too, an opening & it is beautiful to see how the speaker(s) constantly ripple, revel, live, and honor death alongside the wait/the wake, to invoke Christina Sharpe.
