Thorns in her flesh
By Eshe Benson
Thorns in her flesh is an illustrated collection of poems by a black woman on love that is often like a rose flower; magnificent in its beauty but burdened with pricking thorns.
it is also about the realities of family relationships and the socio-cultural, spiritual, economic, and political complexities of life in the african
context.
in this collection of poetry, eshe has thrown together poems of different themes; something akin to mixing lemon slices and balls of sugar in water. she hopes you, her dear reader, would be kind enough to stir and enjoy a tall glass of lemonade!
the book is split into four chapters: pricking companions, hyena dance, tangled knots, and liquid fire.
