I really enjoyed the paragraph poems over the ones that were either a single line (10 times over) or the ones with / . I also really liked the god/jesus/Mary theme/motif that tied a lot of the poems together. I do wish there were poems, it's quite a short collection but lovely nonetheless

heartbreaking and beautiful. the poem “self portrait of an abuser” is a masterclass in poetry. two towers of text that mean so much alone, and then when read together create a whole new, even more powerful poem. amazing

This book, especially the poem, "I was born in a great length of river", helped remind me that despite all of my trauma, I will never know what it's like to drown. Akwaeke Emezi is truly such an inspiring and powerful author, I highly recommend everyone to read their work!
