Heavy Is the Head by Sumaya Enyegue

4.0

Heavy is the Head is a beautiful and heavy collection of poetry exploring experiences that are incredibly human.

Enyegue's poetry was charged with so much emotion centering around trauma and healing, mental health, and other topics that way so many people down. I cried while in awe of Enyegue's eloquence with her words when discussing topics such as mental health, sexual assult, and being black. It was like a gut-punch as I realized that though each person's experience is different, the emotions and pain of trauma can be universal.

I cannot wait to get my hands of a physical copy!
