- Description
In this lyrical and deeply emotional collection of poems, Umezurike examines what it means to survive and live after violence has impacted a family. Throughout the poems, there is a deep tension and trauma left from the violence as it explores the fragile balance between healing and hurting, between surviving and truly living. For educators, this work could be used to explore emotion in literature or could be built into social studies lessons by providing insight into the long-term human impact of war. Its accessible and honest language encourages students to reflect on displacement, intergenerational trauma, and the resilience of families facing upheaval. Individual poems may be appropriate for earlier learners, though likely with direct educator support, given the subject matter covered.
