A beguilingly beautiful collection of the personal and the political. Words that weave like limbs on trees. Simultaneously melancholy and uplifting. Make sure you grab at the opportunity to see her perform if she's ever in the same corner of the world as you.

This book makes poetry come alive to me. I read it during an airport stopover, and I was surrounded by fluorescent lights and impatient people. I found respite in these pages.
