This book, What She Feels, by Chidozie Osuwa is composed of a collection of poems. From the first couple of pages, I already immediately fell in love. Right off the bat, multiple poems were for the most part relatable; It was as if Osuwa was writing my thoughts onto paper and converting my feelings into words.
Each poem seemed to connect with the underlying topic of relationships—the dealing with difficulties and/or brokenness that comes during, or as a result of, being in a rather complicated relationship. The writer was consistent with this theme throughout the book.
Structurally, the book is split into about three part. The first 95 pages are individual poems under the chapter, "SHE SAID-," the following page covering a single poem, under, "HE SAID-," and the rest of the pages are standalone poems that aren't technically catagorized under any specific chapter. …show more content…
I found this feature neat as one can get more context on the poem in addition to their own initial take on it.
On the other hand, the, "HE SAID," section simply involved a single, two-lined poem. I honestly thought this section would feature content similar to, and as plentiful as its former.
Alternatively, the remaining set of poems were not placed under one classified section, but they do follow the same layouts. Each of these seems to display snippets of scenarios, in an omnipotent matter, and the last word or so of each line rhymed with the previous/following line
For me, I thoroughly enjoyed the section, "SHE SAID-"—not that the other sections weren't good; Respectively, all of the poems had their own enjoyable qualities and stories behind them. Personally for me, however, I just related significantly more to the poems in the first half of the
