  Ama Asantewa Diaka

  A bold, mesmerizing debut collection exploring womanhood, the body, mental illness, and what it means to move between cultures  
  Renowned for her storytelling and spoken-word artistry, Ama Asantewa Diaka is also an exultant, fierce, and visceral poet whose work leaves a lasting impact. 
  Touching on themes from perceptions of beauty to the betrayals of the body, from what it means to give consent to how we grapple with demons internal and external, Woman, Eat Me Whole is an entirely fresh and powerful look at womanhood and personhood in a shifting world. Moving between Ghana and the United States, Diaka probes those countries’ ever-changing cultural expectations and norms while investigating the dislocation and fragmentation of a body—and a mind—so often restless or ill at ease. 
  Vivid and bodily while also deeply cerebral, Woman, Eat Me Whole is a searing debut collection from a poet with an inimitable voice and vision.

  There was a time when I was falling, 
  My enemies surrounded me. 
  I was wounded and weary. 
  I felt so weak unable to fight anymore. 
  My eyes were dark and, 
  my strength was almost gone. 
  I prayed and cried out to God; I felt forsaken. 
  I was hurt and felt abandoned. 
  Then I reminded myself of his words 
  that he will never leave me. 
  I cried with my whole heart, 
  He heard me and save me from my enemies.

  In The Tempest, long considered one of Shakespeare’s most lyrical plays, Prospero, a sorcerer, and his daughter, Miranda, have been stranded on an enchanted island for twelve years. When a shipwreck—caused by the eponymous tempest—brings enemies to the island, the stage is set for comedy, romance, and reconciliation. The Tempest embodies both seemingly timeless romance and the historically specific moment in which Europe began to explore and conquer the New World. Its poetic beauty, complexity of thought, range of characters—from the spirit Ariel and the monster Caliban to the beautiful Miranda and her prince Ferdinand—and exploration of difficult questions that still haunt us today make this play wonderfully compelling.
