When No One Is Watching by Linathi Makanda
5.0
Linathi Makanda's poetry is a work of genuine emotion and storytelling. This collection allows for the women who may feel hidden and invisible, to be seen in the light of her poetry.
The poems follow a combination of themes such as love, loss and trauma. They flow like a journey within the four sections through self-discovery and self-love, reflecting back on memories and moments from the past that range from heavy to accepting and learning to praise the person you are.
There are some graphic but striking scenes that I'd advise people to be aware of when reading it, however, every page allows for such emotion to pour from the poetry and impact those who read it.
The sense of pain and emotion is so strong I felt an ache in my heart reading some of the verses and experiences shared within this collection.
Thank you so much to Odyssey books for sending me a digital copy to read and review.
This collection was absolutely beautiful and a pleasure to read, and I definitely recommend others to get their hands on a copy.
