Personally I liked the style of the poems in this book. They were giving story telling vibe. I also found the poems easily to read. But to be honest, I only 50% to 75% understood what could be the real meaning of the poems.
This book divided into two parts. For me the second part has stronger messages because the themes are (kinda) heavy I think. Meanwhile the first part is 100% the story (telling) of the poet in "new" (home) country. Though I am not relate to any of the poems (yet), it was still heartwarming (?) to read others experiences especially in poetry form.
Some of the poems were also sarcastically funny and dark-ish. One of my favorites was "Fear of death numbs rational thinking but the absence of an ambulance strengthens the resolve to live".
Thank you to Tolu' A. Akinyemi, BooksGoSocial, and NetGalley for the ARC.
