A gorgeous and necessary collection from one of my favourite writers' Warsan Shire Translating as 'initiation', kumukanda is the name given to the rites a young boy from the Luvale tribe must pass through before he is considered a man. The poems of Kayo Chingonyi's remarkable debut explore this passage: between two worlds, ancestral and contemporary; between the living and the dead; between the gulf of who he is and how he is perceived. Underpinned by a love of music, language and literature, here is a powerful exploration of race, identity and masculinity, celebrating what it means to be British and not British, all at once. *Shortlisted for the Costa Poetry Prize; Seamus Heaney Centre First Poetry Collection Prize; Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry; Roehampton Poetry Prize; Jhalak Prize 2018*","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53285721440598,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53362828968278,"sku":"9781784741396-V","price":6.79,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9781784741396_1_81c1cbe6-a057-459f-a37e-a6285585e8d1.jpg?v=1784121800","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/chingonyi-kayo-kumukanda-9781784741396","provider":"momox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
