If I’m honest, I didn’t love this collection and found it difficult to get into it. In the author’s defense, I will say that I definitely wasn’t in the greatest headspace while reading this, but I don’t know if I would have enjoyed it even if I was in the mood. This is definitely a me thing than anything— I just wasn’t a huge fan of the style presented in this collection.

To shine the good about this collection though, the imagery is incredible, especially when Sinclair talks about Jamaica. I also thought the way she dove into racism and colonialism was utterly powerful. Considering these things, I do want to read more of Sinclair’s works, in hopes that I’ll enjoy those more.
