Magnolia, 木蘭 by Nina Mingya Powles

emotional reflective medium-paced

5.0

Throughout all of the poems in this collection there is a phenomenal ability to evoke sensory memories and a real sense of place, I came away from book this with an almost tangible feeling of atmosphere, smells of food, fog, steam, weather, seasons, blossoms, vegetation, cut fruit, colours, fabrics, the feel and form of language. I adored these poems and felt so absorbed in their world. Definitely recommend this collection
