Description
Book SynopsisIf listening is a form of attention, and attention is a form of love, Bella Cox's Sikiliza presents itself as both an imperative and a promise for exploration of the bonds that tie the constituent elements of a self together. A self woven from voices rooted in different continents. A self both defined by and defying notions of what it means to be woman, sister, daughter, lover, loved, queer. A self versed in the languages of scalpels and flowers. A self that howls, soothes and sings off-key. A self that's unapologetically here, wherever here may be.
Trade Review"Sikiliza touches gently on memory as it unearths how the tiniest, tender moments can form and define an entire life. It is filled with colour, smells and sound — jumping between continents, weaving a tapestry rich with catharsis. This pamphlet spills over with care, compassion and love.” - Xabiso Vili
