Overview

In an intimate and unflinching collection, A J Akoto tracks the complex bind of mother-daughter relationships. Through separation and attempts to mend, longing, and the fluidity of myth/story-telling in defining histories and identities, she collapses the elision between womanhood and motherhood/daughterhood, bringing to the forefront that which usually remains unspoken.

Unmothered is a collection that unravels the complexities of the mother daughter relationship for deep inspection. AJ Akoto illuminates the unwritten, and observes the nuances of womanhood with deft skill. This is a startling debut collection and a writer to watch.Selina NwuluEvery word in this stunning debut collection deserves its place on the page. Akoto skilfully stitches fragments of love, along with forgiveness, compassion, and insight, into the fabric of her life. By doing so, she shines a light into the dark places many of us are afraid to peer into - the cracks, or in some cases large chasms - that can exist in the relationship between mother and daughter. Unmothered is poetry at its finest - pure, honest, brave, and touching.Louisa Adjoa Parker
