The author in the opening page wrote "As you turn these pages, I hope that you will find your name in yourself and yourself in your name." I did.
To Bee A Honey didn't bore for a second. I can and will read this book over and over again. It made me appreciate poetry more. If poetry can be this good then everyone would love it. ✨
The book is divided into 10 parts – The taking/Precautions/These are not love poems/Of loving/Bits/Aching/Curing/The womYn/To believe & beliefs & A writer's relief. (Yes, womYn). There's also an artistic way Oyindamola writes her poetry, it summons your senses.
Every chapter effervesces strong emotions that will not only move the reader but open their mind of understanding. Topics like Love, Hate, Abuse, Domestic Violence, Gender Wars, Depression, The Imposter Syndrome, Misogyny, Religion, Hypocrisy, Truth, Salvation, Anger, Bitterness, Discovery emboldened themselves in pages of this book. The short stories were poetic too & left me hanging because I wanted more.
If you want to find meaning in the chaos you've overcome/become, or want to reassure yourself of how strong you are, how weak you've been, how imperfect but able to mend every broken piece of who you are/have been/will be. Read this book.
