A review by tipsybookworm
Heavy Is the Head by Sumaya Enyegue
4.0
Thank you, Central Avenue Publishing, for an arc in exchange for an honest review.
Enyegue’s debut poetry collection is a force to be reckoned with. A bold, gutting and honest expression of the human experience, girlhood and blackness.
I’ve followed Sumaya Enyegue’s work online for quite a few years now. She has a very distinct and powerful voice that is evident in every piece. This collection was visceral, evocative and comforting. I enjoyed the overarching imagery tying the collection together in a cohesive way.
I cannot wait to buy a physical copy of this collection to annotate and tab my favourite pieces. If you like spoken word artists from Button Poetry, you’ll enjoy Sumaya’s collection.
