Reseña del libro "The Miracle (en Inglés)"
Esther Owolabi's first collection moves between Nigeria and England, and between the grief of a miscarriage and the morning a daughter was finally placed in her arms. The poems are addressed to God as often as to the reader, and they carry the vocabulary of prayer into ordinary rooms, where a kettle boils with ginger and honey in a grandparents' house and a road runs on past every place the speaker once called home. Thirty poems are arranged here as a single passage from loss towards something the book is careful never to call certainty. Women recur throughout, and they are seldom comfortable figures. Some have saved the world and been called witches for it. Others have sewn the torn edges of the world back together and then watched a daughter inherit the same sad tale. Against that inheritance the collection sets a quieter claim about what survives, which is the songs we hold onto because the forgotten ones become wounded birds waiting to die, and the name that is still your own once the world has finished calling you by its own. Five of the author's yarn and acrylic artworks, made alongside the poems, are reproduced in the collection. Esther Owolabi is a Nigerian multidimensional artist who sketches and writes, and whose work has appeared in JAY Lit and Kalahari Review. The Miracle is published in the Continuity Poetry Book Series by Witsprouts Books, a series for contemporary poets who document and sustain our shifting cultural rhythms. ________ The Continuity Poetry Series serves as a living archive for vital, contemporary poetic voices. Like the literary pioneers before them, today’s poets carry the immense weight, beauty, and complexity of our shifting landscapes, capturing the nuance of the human experience in verse. This series exists to bridge the gap between deep-rooted heritage and modern realities. Each volume explores unique facets of identity, society, and resilience—ensuring that the ongoing evolution of the written word remains vibrant and forward-looking. Continuity is more than a sequence of books; it is a testament to the enduring power of the poetic voice.
