Description
“These are poems of deep thought, passionate engagement, and often searing images.” —Toronto Star (on Each One a Furnace)
A poetic exploration of the cyclical philosophy of dismantling—and remaking—the self from Griffin Poetry Prize winner Tolu Oloruntoba.
Moving and inventive, Unravel deals with the multiple ways in which a person and world can be deconstructed, and what could happen in the aftermath.
