Meant For More Than This by Rha Arayal

5.0

emotional reflective sad slow-paced

---

This poetry collection contains themes of coming of age, outgrowing your environment, identity and belonging, and mental health.

I absolutely relate to the angst, loneliness, anger, frustration, and the rainbow of emotions of youth throughout. But Rha writes so beautifully about visiting Nepal and about being a young woman of color in a primarily white society in the UK.

Rha’s voice is singular and her poetry is lovely and visceral.
