I Shimmer Sometimes, Too by Porsha Olayiwola

5.0

I don’t read much poetry, but this book rewards readers with creative structure and incredible narratives painted in fewer words than one could imagine being enough. Sparse and rich and shimmering.

I’ve gotten to hear Porsha Olayiwola read special poems, one new one at a time, at events around Boston. Those are powerful but civic and specific. This collection is personal and sweeping.
