There are no words to describe how much Okri's words blew me away. Each poem was succinct and raw, beautiful as it draws on emotional imagery. The poetry takes on different subject matters, and all of them convey the depth of human pain and perseverance. This is a short book that needs to be savored, and it was well worth the emotional journey.

Though this is the first work I've read by Okri, I'm determined to read more of his beautiful writing.

I feel like I don't get on well with Ben Okri's style of poetry. I don't know I found many of the poems confusing and I couldn't get the meaning of them.
