Unravel: Poems - Paperback

by Tolu Oloruntoba (Author)

"These are poems of deep thought, passionate engagement, and often searing images." --Toronto Star (on Each One a Furnace)

A poetic exploration of the cyclical philosophy of dismantling and remaking, Unravel is a moving and inventive rove through what could happen in the deconstructed aftermath of person and world.
