![]() ![]() Even so, this is an important and difficult theme, one that is rarely addressed for teens in particular, so for that alone I laud the effort.Īs evident from the cover, Wild Embers features a number of motifs, particularly outer space, which contribute to a sense of musical language that permeates the book. Groupings of poems discuss fairy tale princesses and Greek goddesses in this context (which was somewhat uncomfortable, since it was apparent that Gill used mostly popular understanding of these figures, not the original fairy tales or myths). Gill speaks of friendships and relationships fallen apart, of learning to love oneself and forgive oneself and others for actions carried out as a result of pain. Rebellion, fire, and beauty are all motifs contained within Gill’s extensive collection, but most of the freeverse and prose poems contained within focus on a more nebulous theme - abuse and recovery. ![]() The descriptions on Amazon and so on do not clarify well enough the theme of this collection of poetry. Wild Embers by Nikita Gill was the hardest book of my assignment so far to get my hands on (I had to make a purchase request from my library). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Our returns policy does not affect your statutory rights. ![]() This applies to all goods that are returned.

Consider Nas’s 2003 song “ I Can” (his highest-charting single to date), which was widely lauded for its uplifting message. Precolonial black history is often reduced to a troubling binary: Africans as a uniformly subservient arm of the triangular trade and Africa through the lens of monarchies like ancient Egypt and Haile Selassie’s Ethiopia. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
