Against Heaven: Poems by Kemi Alabi

5.0

This is apparently Alabi’s debut collection, and honestly, I’m super impressed with the collection they gave us. At its heart this is a simmering, angry collection but their way with words is astounding. Not all of these landed for me, and some I liked the titles better than the poems themselves, but honestly, again, for a first collection, you could do way worse. Will definitely be watching for their next collection.
