‘A daring, ambitious pleasure to read’ ROGER ROBINSON
____________________________________
Intimate and epic, dark and profound, interweaving hip hop beats with the mythology of the British Isles, Samatar Elmi’s A Darker Light is an unforgettable debut collection about the gift and curse of diaspora.
With a watchful eye on the minutiae of nature’s cycles of life and death, and a profound connection to the land and language that make and unmake our histories, Elmi’s poems shine with grace and blaze with defiance.
