    Poems like salt, poems like honey, poems that comfort, poems that sting
  

*by F***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2015*

This poetry collection is breathtakingly beautiful. Ijeoma Umebinyuo is writing for women, about the experience of being a woman. The poems are about self-worth and self loathing, about love, about trauma, about family. Some are about Nigeria; some are about being a student abroad. There are poems so short that you can hold a whole one under your tongue and smuggle it across international lines, and others that are longer and unfold a whole story.Here's a very short one that I love:Staylet me tell youhow salt fell in loveone day,salt found waterand just would not let go.--OceanHere's a slightly longer one:Your lover sped awayleaving tire marks on your skin.You have resolved to eatingyesterday for breakfast.I watch you gather your memorieslike firewood,warming yourselffor yet another lonely night.There are also about mothers and daughters:You are your mother's amento all her prayersthe calm to her trembling soulshe gathers our happinessrubbing it on her skintill she begins to glowAnother, "Glory"Before the year endsteach yourself five thingsyour mother never taught youthen, teach yourself five thingsyou want to teach your daughterLet me leave you with one about homesickness, called "aching hearts//missing home"At the embassy,they never warned us about daysamerica will feel so lonely,we will gather our mother tonguehastily swallowing wordsthat remind us of home to keep warmI'm going to treasure this book, and I look forward to many more poems and poetry collections by Ijeoma Umebinyuo.

    I loved this book from beginning to end
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2017*

I loved this book from beginning to end. As a twenty-something, Nigerian-American, I can really relate to a lot of the poems Ijeoma Umebinyuo used. I think a lot of women of color are able to relate as well because so many of us face the same issues growing up in one culture at home and another one outside of the home. Her literary talent had me completely enthralled from beginning to end. I plan on buying this for all of my sisters.

    Must have for your soul
  

*by I***. on Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2021*

Raw but stunningly beautiful words from a Nigerian born poet. I've bought almost a dozen copies and gifted over the years to my friends and family. " 'So, here you are too foreign for home too foreign for here. Never enough for both.' "
