Requite
In her debut poetry collection 'Requite', Malaika Kegode's lens is on people, the ones that speak to us through music and books, those both real and imagined, as she shines a light on loneliness and the sometimes unbearable burden of love and being loved. It is a love letter to the testament of humanity and the patchwork of people that make up our lives. Her gently crafted style is tender, astute and unfalteringly humane as she blends the mundane, everyday rituals of brewing tea and watching TV with the vast subjects of love, loss, growth and rebirth.

A few lines were quite profound and relatable but for the most part this book was much more personal to the author and not a ‘patchwork of humanity’ as it’s described.
Felt like every poem was a slight variation of ‘oh I live in London with my depressed boyfriend but it’s ok because we drink a lot of alchohol and talk about our youth’
