Description
How to Make Love to a Colonised Body is the second collection of poetry by Congolese-Irish poet Nithy Kasa. Written during the time of lock-up, followed by subsequent release, the collection addresses matters in our relationships, both personal and political, with a focus on the two nations Nithy calls home. Holding on to the beauty that exists in nature and in life, these poems play with a language that is second-hand to Nithy. All the while she is testing herself and mingling clear-cut contemporary tones with that of the dreamy traditional Irish poetry.
