Outlandish by Jo Clement

challenging inspiring fast-paced

4.0

This was a delight to read in terms of vocabulary, of musicality, of the author's ability to master and play with the language. It had been quite a while since I had genuinely enjoyed an English-language poetry collection. Jo Clement shows that English may not be such a poor language after all. Which is also the reason why I will definitely come back to Outlandish because I have to admit it was a bit challenging for me. And I'm glad that I read the work of a Romani poetess, a contemporary collection this time.
