When No One Is Watching by Linathi Makanda

4.0

When No One is Watching is a short collection of hard hitting poems split into 4 sections:

-LOVE RISING
-LOVE LOST
-INTERNAL UPRISING
-HOPE RISING

Focusing on themes of love and loss, trauma and the aftermath, vulnerability, insecurity and even hope, I found almost all of these poems to be incredible. Really poignant and something I will definitely be re-reading. The writer has a real sense of self and that came through on this read and this will definitely stick with me.

Highly recommend.
