Description
I Am Memory by Jumoke Verissimo is a poignant collection of poems that explores the human experience through emotions of loss, dispossession and despair. Arranged in four movements, this slim volume delves into universal themes and issues specific to Nigerian realities. The poet's measured control of line and verse brings lucidity to her evocative poems, which are both powerful and accessible. The book is accompanied by four memorable illustrations that precede each movement, adding an extra layer of depth to the reader's experience. A promising debut from a talented writer, I Am Memory is a volume packed with poignant poetry that invites readers to return to its pages again and again.
