Recenzii

Emezi has combined Maya Angelou's passion and Sylvia Plath's devastating self-inquisition to create an edgy music that frightens and astonishes
A powerful debut poetry collection
A multi-genre pheonomena, it's a triumph of a creative mind
Emezi's work is deeply magical, it is stunningly selective, making you feel so much with so little
A triumph of selfhood that painstakingly journeys between belief and becoming. Holding tenderness and rage in one breath, the Nigerian-born nonbinary author excavates trauma, divorce and loss without restraint ... Illuminates a complicated past, expels antiquated what-ifs and allows readers to share in the possibilities underscored by a wholly original and creative mind
A bold debut collection delving into Blackness, trauma, sexuality and the divine from the author of The Death of Vivek Oji
A puzzle wrapped in beautiful language, raising questions of identity and loyalty that are as unanswerable as they are important
In their poetry debut, Content Warning: Everything eye-catching novelist Akwaeke Emezi envisions a self that can't be bent or brokeN
From searing inquisitions of the nature of guilt and sin to radical reimaginings of biblical figures, Emezi operates with the ease of a seasoned poet throughout this visionary book
Incomparable ... Emezi's lyrics radiate raw vulnerability in their exploration of themes of abuse, trauma, mental wellness, and sexuality
Emezi returns with a poetry collection that sounds electrifying. Emezi is one of our favourite writers today and we are lucky enough to get blessed with a poetry collection from them
Swinging from home to homesickness, abuse to survival, grief to rage, and desire to surrender, the poems exemplify the stark power of Emezi's writing
Dazzling ... Akwaeke Emezi continues to astound with their prolific multi-genre, multidisciplinary work
Each poem is stunning, and often feels uproarious immediately upon its completion, demanding another read, another look, a step or two back or to the side, to second guess, question, and feel
I'm excited to read more poems like this - pushing at the boundaries and drawing their content into wilder forms.
Spirit, source and sanctuary
Emezi is an award-winning author making a big splash in poetry with this collection. Leading with the spirit, these poems celebrate the parts of ourselves that we cannot kill or reduce. Surrender, abuse, survival, and homesickness are all themes in play in these poems that really do need every content warning imaginable
