Millefiori

PRE-ORDERS WILL BE RELEASED ON 10 APRIL 2017

“Omar Musa writes hard, beautiful poems about things that are true”
Kate Tempest

A collection of love poems and fierce raps, Millefiori is Omar Musa’s third book of poetry. Both dream-like and gritty, it also includes scans of draft poems in Musa’s notebook. Heartbreak, cocaine, colonial violence, memory and cave paintings: this is a world full of unbearable beauty and brutality.

“Fierce, lyrical and intimate: Omar Musa's poetry sets words aflame”
Helen MacDonald, author of H is for Hawk

“Each poem in Musa’s Millefiori beats with a large heart”
Gregory Pardlo, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry
