‘The poems in Ceremony for the Nameless are suffused with a beautifully intimate energy that belies an insistent transformative power… fascinating and enriching.’ - Bernardine Evaristo

'This book assures her place as a trailblazer for a new wave of poets.’ - Jennifer Lee Tsai, Guardian

Far-reaching and musical, Theresa Lola’s second collection explores the roles name play in shaping our identities, our aspirations, what we carry and how we belong. Woven through the book are also relationships, gatherings, the collective as a space to bond, recharge, and pass truths. Lola breaks down the complexities of the diasporic experience and the way it is woven through family life, history and memory.
