This is one of the best poetry collections I’ve read in a minute. The poems translate Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales into a contemporary Black vernacular, riddled with rhyme and verve. This marriage plays spectacularly into hip-hop’s sensibilities and Agbabi has the rapping ability and scholarly muscles to really make these transcreations pop. Anushka and I howled with delight while reading these poems. 5 out of 5.
