Content Warning: Everything by Akwaeke Emezi

challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective tense

4.0

Akwaeke Emezi writes prose like it’s poetry and poetry like it’s art, and art is not my specialty. The poems in this collection raised a lot of questions for me and, even with thoughtful consideration, I found a lot of them too complex to unpack, but maybe that was the point. You’re not supposed to dissect, you’re just meant to get the general form.
