Alphabet Book

Alphabet book is a poetry anthology on the inevitable strained relationships, with parents, friends, lovers and with oneself of youth. It explores the themes of love, hate, identity and the concept of 'self', self-love, self-hate and self-acceptance. As the first volume of a tripartite series, it marks the beginning of the amazing journey of youth, in a space where one is lost with a vague concept of direction yet a lack of knowledge on how to reach one's destination. Alphabet book is the author, Anjola Awe's first book and shows a raw, unadulterated edge to her- every poem has been written from a place of vulnerability and that is what makes it so remarkable.
