AN IRISH TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR

A Little Resurrection is the debut full-length collection from acclaimed poet Selina Nwulu.

In these reflections on being and blackness, informed by empathy and intellectual curiosity, Nwulu melds the golden light of Senegal with the harsh winds of Yorkshire. Here, blackness itself is complicated, and the resonances of being are extended to offer an image of the self in a state of flux – a fugitive spirit battling the harm of erasure.

In its profound joy, all the more powerful for being hard-won, A Little Resurrection heralds the branching out of an important trajectory in Anglophone poetry.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Praised by the Irish Times as a "poignant, funny and moving collection," A Little Resurrection signals the arrival of a remarkable new talent in British poetry. Joelle Taylor commends Nwulu for using her poetry as a compass that transcends borders, while Malika Booker highlights her ability to capture the liminal space of immigration and identity with vivid, dynamic imagery. This collection is part of the acclaimed Bloomsbury poetry list, edited by Kayo Chingonyi.
