***Reasons why?***
I think at the end of 2018/2019 I got more interested in my African ancestors via my mum. I can still remember how I talked with my Turkish colleague and she was telling where her people came from. It kinda hurt to talk about it because I couldn't tell her where mine came from. Yes I knew my great-grandmother but that's it. Beyond that we only have family lore. I can't even tell you what country (now at least). While on my father's side it's so goddamn easy to trace. To Find.
But reading about this subject is always intertwined with Slavery. And I can't always do that. It hurts. And not the good kind of hurt. So poetry, even though I don't always get it, fill that spot. It doesn't heal but sometimes my hurt get to have a voice.

This book sounds like it could do that.… (plus d'informations)
