Book description
Hearing Akwaeke Emezi read their own words in Content Warning: Everything isn't just listening-it's feeling the rhythm of a soul speaking directly to yours. As the Guardian captured, it "frightens and astonishes," and that's precisely what you experience when Emezi's voice carries these poems. They weave Maya Angelou's fire with Sylvia Plath's raw honesty, but this is something entirely new, shaped by their unique "spiritfirst" perspective.
This isn't poetry you just hear-it's a space you step into. Emezi guides you from "home to homesickness," tracing desire into surrender, abuse into survival, all while building a "chosen family" that includes "the son of god, Mary Auntie, and Magdalene with chestnut eyes." The audiobook makes the spiritual feel tangible, the earthly raw. You hear the weight of "divine and earthly materials" in every pause, every inflection.
What makes this collection so vital is how it reimagines belonging now. Emezi doesn't just describe the "fugitive nature of being in the world"-they make you feel it, especially within Blackness. The poems are "durable anthems" pulled from the "noise of the contemporary moment," and hearing them spoken? It's like finding a lifeline in the chaos. You'll hear lines that stick-"the essence of self that is impossible to drown, kill, or reduce"-and they linger long after the final word.
This isn't just a book; it's an act of resistance, a celebration of a "mischievous and wanting young deity, embodied." Emezi's voice carries the "radiant power and epic grief" that New York Times called a "triumph," and in audiobook form, it's deeply intimate. You're not just reading about healing-you're hearing it unfold, word by word, breath by breath. It's a gift, a warning, and a homecoming all at once. If you've ever felt unseen, you'll find yourself seen here. This is the sound of belonging, finally found.

This app has turned my screen time into valuable learning opportunities. Navigating audiobooks seamlessly – this app's design is top-notch. Audiobook lovers, meet your new best friend! This app's smooth playback and easy organization have transformed my reading experience. 🎉🎧 Solid performance, but not outstanding. The narrator did a fine job, though their tone was a bit monotonous at times. The story itself was engaging enough, but I wouldn’t call it unforgettable.
I'm amazed by ListenBook's smooth drag-and-drop downloads in my web browser – a time-saver! I'm amazed at how this app has seamlessly integrated reading into my daily rhythm. Flawless support for various audio formats. Highly satisfied. I’d listen to this narrator read anything! Their voice was so expressive and fitting for the material. The story itself was great, but the narration took it to the next level. Definitely a 5-star experience. A serviceable audiobook that met basic expectations. The narration was clear if somewhat unremarkable, and the production quality was standard without any noticeable technical issues. It kept me moderately engaged during workouts but didn't leave a lasting impression.
This app has made my workouts and chores so much more enjoyable. Great for both casual listening and studying. The audio filters are a nice touch. A middle-of-the-road audiobook that neither impressed nor disappointed. The narrator's voice was agreeable enough for extended listening, though their character differentiation could have been stronger. The production met basic industry standards without any standout qualities.
ListenBook's extensive format support makes it the ultimate audiobook app for any audiobook lover. The customer support is amazing. They responded to my query within hours.
