Description
Book SynopsisA second edition of the raw, edgy and poignant début poetry collection of British Ghanaian author Louisa Adjoa Parker who began writing poetry to explore her feelings of being 'different' and the racism she experienced in her early years.
Trade ReviewThe poems bounce off the page like diamonds – hard, right and lethal. Louisa Adjoa Parker writes like a fire blazes: what a commanding way to write – I envy her! She writes as if she born to it – brutal and cool; sparks fly. Her world is unignorable. It explodes in your face. She insists you listen. Her language is spot-on. She writes like a dream, but a dream that will not let you go; that's ruthless and painful and crystal clear: 100% bold, 100% natural. Nothing escapes her, but her heart is a heart of gold. She shares her pain with a lightness of touch that makes it all the more heart-breaking. Poems with nerves of steel. Selima Hill -- Publisher: Cinnamon Press
