This collection by New Zealander, Tayi Tibble, consists of free verse and prose poetry of an autobiographical nature (or presented as such.) It is playful in its use of language, especially in its use of slang and Maori language words, as it deals in a broad emotional landscape.

It has bursts of creative brilliance and evocativeness, but also periods where it’s like reading a teenager’s diary.

All in all, I enjoyed the collection and would recommend it for poetry readers.
