72 poems in four sections gracefully rendered to speak the spirit of a nation. Coming undone as stitches tighten brings together intriguing poems of personal and communal consequence.

It is a tribute to nationhood and humanity, evoking emotions that capture the true essence of art. As in her debut collection, Iquo DianaAbasi once more brings to the page the fire for which she is known on stage. 

This collection is a potpourri of velvety verse that touches on so many things evocative of the Nigerian and African spirit. In this graceful sophomore collection, Iquo’s passion pours on and on in ways that most readers will connect with. – S.
