Review:

If you like your poems full of grief and heart then I think you’ll really enjoy Adukeh’s debut collection.

There’s beautiful talks of tea shared and grief with its incessant flow as well of glimmers of hope. There are delicate words burdened with heaviness.

Vulnerability and loss run through this collection, Adukeh has laid herself bare in this collection and it feels like you’re being let into something special.
