Colour Me

"Roxanne Simone's Colour Me is a powerful and heartfelt collection of poems driven by nightmares, visions, revelations, and childhood trauma. Simone navigates the labyrinthine tangles of adolescence, sexuality, race, and spirituality through lens after lens of different colour and she does so with the fervour and confidence of a much older soul. Her poems throughout the collection range from the gut wrenching to the joyous, the despairing to the ecstatic, and throughout it all her wit and her innate insight into the human condition take you by the hand and urge on. The triumph of Colour Me is that it does not begin where you expect it begin, nor end where you expect it it to end, and every moment in between is an exhilarating rollercoaster of emotion and situation. This collection of work as unpredictable as it is inevitable. In a world that has become so adept at silencing the aches and impulses of the soul, a poet such as this was bound to come of age. The great joy for us as readers, is that that poet is Simone." - Joe Eason Colour Me is a powerful poetry collection & journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance through every colour of the rainbow and beyond that heads towards the pot of gold at the rainbow's end. A raw, touching and truthful collection of writing; every chapter offering shades, hues and saturations of colour that revel and rebel in life, loss and love.
