Heavy Is the Head by Sumaya Enyegue

dark emotional informative inspiring sad tense fast-paced

3.5

A brilliant debut. A collection of short and sharp poems on mental health, black girlhood, racism, trauma. Even if you may not be able to relate to some of the poems personally they were brutal and eye opening. The poems were often almost quite lyrical. It made the poems easy to read despite the hard and emotional content. Please read the trigger warnings.
