Phases is a beautiful debut poetry collection. The poems are approachable and easy to read, especially for readers new to poetry, while being lyrical and thought provoking. I really enjoyed the artful way the poems were categorized by the phases of the moon- giving the collection its name. It felt like the natural progression of a story. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Amistad for supplying me with an advanced reader copy of Phases by Tramaine Suubi.
