I do not know why I started this with a sense that I’ve read it before. It seems familiar, yet new. Passionate writing, Novuyo. You pulled me in and shoved me down all the different tunnels and little ceaves in this young girl’s mind. Thank you for this moving piece.

That’s why we are so wise and prosperous. – Samuel Oluwatosin Kolawole in Sentinel Literary Quarterly [...]

In Elaine Harris’ poem, life is mirrored in nature in a delightful way. Her poem soothes jitters. Good to read in tense enervating times
