AN IRISH TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR A Little Resurrection is the debut full-length collection from acclaimed poet Selina Nwulu. In these reflections on being and blackness, informed by empathy and intellectual curiosity, Nwulu melds the golden light of Senegal with the harsh winds of Yorkshire. Here, blackness itself is complicated, and the resonances of being are extended to offer an image of the self in a state of flux – a fugitive spirit battling the harm of erasure. In its profound joy, all the more powerful for being hard-won, A Little Resurrection heralds the branching out of an important trajectory in Anglophone poetry.
Selina Nwulu is a writer, essayist and social researcher whose work focuses on social and environmental justice, education and global politics. She is a former Young People's Laureate for London and her debut pamphlet is entitled The Secrets I Let Slip. A Little Resurrection is her first full-length collection of poems.
