Poūkahangatus by Tayi Tibble
4.0
Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
"In fact, it must be difficult not to sprout a head of snakes in a society that constantly hisses at you."
Tibble has written a moving and provocative collection of poems that cover a variety of topics, mostly focusing on her experiences as an indigenous woman. I always like to include in my reviews for poetry that I believe poetry is very subjective, as it is such a raw expression of the soul. Not every poem hit home for me but that just means those poems weren't meant for me. That being said, there were several lines I had to keep rereading because I felt them in my heart. Tibble is an incredibly talented writer and I am glad I was given the opportunity to read this book.
