A quote from a review from a review of Dzifa Benson's Monster which reads, "More than a poetry collection, Monster is, like Baartman’s story, a paradox in itself. Over the course of its four sections, Benson spans ghazals to poem-plays to interviews to prose-poem articles to musical scores. She transitions seamlessly from biography to ekphrasis, from the historical to the present day, exhibiting a formal adventurousness that knows no limits." The full review can be read at saartjiejournal.org/blog.
Monster by @dzifabenson.bsky.social (Bloodaxe Books, 2024), in part a biography of Sarah Baartman in poetry form, is a stunning and unflinching exploration of the black woman's body throughout history. Read our full review today at saartjiejournal.org/blog.
