Overview

Ifunanya Georgia Ezeano's poetry collection is a challenge, a comforting, and a cry. In Storm & Stillwater gives us the poet's life as a growth of words that have been trimmed, pruned, and grafted with care until everything about them is hybrid-phrases, lines, and silences borrowing from each other and giving to each other. Where the borrowing ends and the giving begins can be impossible to say: Where does love begin, or courage? Ezeano invites you to ""wrap your fears up with a duvet, /pull your eyelids closer to each other"" and find out.-Alex Rettie, poet & songwriterThe content warning for In Storm & Stillwater is quite the introduction: ""There is an indecent amount of sex, fuck, and shit in this book. Some may think it contains violence. This book might mess you up."" and it lets you know this book isn't going to apologize, and it doesn't. the first poem leaves nothing to wonder what you're getting into. this book is intense, emotional, powerful, brilliant, fresh, original, crisp, loud, exciting, guttural-Ifunanya Georgia Ezeano shows what a damn good poet she is. READ THIS FUCKING BOOK, or be punched in the face!-John Compton, author & eic of cataloguing poetry magazineThese poems explore issues of isolation, challenges of being a woman, family fault lines, politics and even the mundane. The persona of these poems finds herself in shifting terrains even as she evolves in the midst of contradictions and chaos. Through lyrical shards, the writer's inner world unfurls its fragile honesty. This collection is full of promise, and it comes with a punch!-Unoma Azuah, professor, poet, writer, activist
