- This is such a beautiful book that leaves you in awe... The poems penetrated deep, in a visceral way. It's like the author took the words right out of my mouth and put them onto the page. The poems resonate with me so much. It touches on so many nuanced Black experiences, written with such precision, vibrancy and authenticity. It's one of my favorite reads, picking it up to read feels like talking to my best friend. The range of poems in here are truthful, comforting, raw and empowering... THANK YOU for writing this outstanding book!
- This book took me to back to my most tender self. When you think you’ve got healing all figured out, the universe will send something that will take you to your corners to finish the work. Those deep indigo spaces you wouldn’t dare sit with because you can’t stand being there alone. The universe did that for me, and it came plainly and boldly through this book. For that, I am forever thankful.
- This is a poetry book done like no other. The layout and the way it is presented is sleek and professional, and the content is even more astoninishing. This is an impressive piece that depicts what it is to be Black.
- It took me through different emotions—sadness, guilt, pain, laughter, and relief. Read it in an hour but the words have stuck with me since then. A truly remarkable book by a writer who has a unique voice. An urgent read for anyone who has tried to articulate the deep complexities they have. Very poignant.
- Great book! I really enjoyed this and I would recommend it to friends and family.
- Exceptional, insightful, personal. So well-written that it can easily be read countless times with the expectation of new discoveries resting between the lines.
- This book was so beautifully written. It was relatable and powerful. Definitely a must read!
- The geometry of being black is poetry at it's finest. It captures the full range of emotions that people of color feel all to often. We live in interesting times. While we've made progress, there's still a lot of growth needed in our nation and our world. Through her words and her poems, Ogorchukwu paints a picture of the current state of affairs. The book is separated into themes, each with their own voice, so the readers are taken through a bit of a journey. I'd highly recommend! I've read it a couple times already.
