CHAPTER

Not Quietude by Victoria Adokwei-Bulli

The poem is from Victoria Adokwei-Bulli's first book and that book is called quiet. It considers the idea and the word and the practice of quietude through a personal lens and political lens to what is it like  to live in a world that's at quietude with itself. When she says as in subtitles as in subtext that's when the poem really begins to go deep into the underground of the word quiet.
