Description

Heavy is the Head by Sumaya Enyegue is a powerful collection of poems that confronts the complexities of girlhood, Blackness, and generational trauma. This debut work explores themes of sexual assault, mental health, and healing, offering no easy answers or solace. Enyegue's poetry is designed to hurt, not comfort, as it tackles difficult subjects with unflinching honesty. The poems are for those who have been marginalized, silenced, or ignored - particularly Black individuals and those who exist outside of traditional categories. By sharing her own experiences and emotions, Enyegue creates a sense of solidarity and shared humanity. This collection is not a healing balm, but rather an invitation to confront the pain and complexity of human experience. Heavy is the Head is a raw, unflinching exploration of what it means to be alive, to be Black, and to be female in a world that often seeks to erase or silence these identities.
