I love such poetry collections!

It's uplifting.
It's hard-hitting.
It makes a lot of sense.
It teaches me something new.
It makes me feel something new, things that I have taken for granted.

I love how this collection talks about faith, violence and what weuplifting one another, women empowerment and celebrating our lives.

Some expressions didn't click well with me.

Overall, a good refreshing read.

Thank you author and the publisher for the advance reading copy.

Reviewing poetry collections is often so difficult because poetry is so personal.

To describe what this collection is about would be doing it a disservice but I can describe what it made me feel which was powerful and divine. It explored the nature of mortality and spirituality in a way that I was able to connect with deeply and understand.

Despite this, there were a few poems, mainly covering feminism that I had to read over to understand the full meaning. I also had an issue with the order, I think these two points paired together made the reading experience flow less for me.

My personal favourites were "solemn" and " portrait of a goddess". Each made me feel two completely different feelings but I relate and I think that's what made me enjoy them so much.

Overall, I would recommend this as something short yet meaningful.

What a luscious prose! Definitely what one the best poetry collection I’ve read so far this year. The language is impeccable, vibrant and heavy with imagery. Also loved the themes of feminism, spirituality, war, violence, and faith.

Simply stunning!

I really liked a lot of the poems in this! “Carnage”, “marry me”, “father of a Queen” and “A portrait of a Goddess” were a personal favourite! I kept rereading them and thinking about them later.

I do not commonly read poetry, but I really enjoyed this anthology. The writing was very well written and emotive, I highly recommend to anyone who is a lover of poetry , and even people who do not typically pick up poetry like me.

I really enjoyed this poetry collection! As a poet myself, I definitely understand the poet’s point of view. The imagery in this collection was unreal and I felt as if there was a god inside of my body just reading it. I definitely will continue to read this person’s work!

A God In A Human Body by @tolutoludo

It’s the ninth poetry collection book from the philosopher-poet. This book explores the spiritual aspects, divinity and the enormous power we posses while we traverse in this earthly passage as mentioned truly. Couldn’t agree more!

I don’t want to write anymore cause I want you all to read it for yourself cause you’ll find peace of mind which I can assure you at least I can tell that for myself.

Some of the poems I already adored and screenshot them so that I can re read again and again whenever I feel low.
Mainly,
* Accidental Feminist
* Whore-Ship
* How would you draw a God’s portrait as a poet?
And many more like these.

Collections are beautiful. Though for me the language it was written a bit tough to understand as I’m not English so sometimes it confused me but I managed to read it at one sitting cause I craved for more.

In this time of pandemic, I’d highly recommend this book.

Thank you @NetGalley @TheRoaringLionNewcastle for the #arc in exchange for an honest review.

The poems.. Absolutely loved them. "A god in a human body" is an incredible book of poems by @tolutoludo.

Mr. Tolu A. Akinyemi, is an award winning Nigerian poet and philosopher.

Each poem is deep and intense. Accidental Feminist, Father of a Queen and Brown Skin are my favorite.

This amazing book is releasing in January, 2022.

Absolutely loved it, Author Tolu' A. Akinyemi has left no stone - no emotion unturned in his new book.
It is rewarding in very aspect from a reader's point of view, each and every poem is deep, intense and has a way of enhancing human emotions on various levels. Highly recommended to all poetry readers out there.

Es interesante. La representacion de dioses en cuerpos o mismo el ver a una persona and worship them para luego pasmarlo me resultó bastante intrigante. Lastima que quedó medio corto y las ultimas páginas eran para promocionar otras obras.

Poems about life and spirituality are my favorite, and "A God in a Human Body" did not disappoint. The only critique I have is that I felt that some of the poems required more shaping and that the collection could have been organized a little better. But, apart from those minor things, I enjoyed the collection as a whole!
Thank you Net Galley for an ARC of this book in return for a fair and honest review.
