## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Clever.
  

*by A***H on Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2018*

Tried to leave a review earlier because I recieved an advance reading before my copy was delivered. In his debut published poetry collection, poet Alakkuu delves into the perilous journey of love and romance in a contemporary landscape. The poems are centered around two overarching themes from which the book derives its namesake; A cautious and tentative traversal through relationships (Wet Grass) followed by a less prudent and more emboldened approach in its varying notes (Vanilla). Within that scope, Alakkuu brings the different aspects of love and heartbreak to the forefront over the course of five sections documenting the experience from the sweet bliss of infatuation to bitterness over a soured experience. This poetic narrative lends itself well to unfolding story.Perhaps the brilliance of the book lies within its simplicity - this is not Sonnet 73 nor was it intended to be. For a subject matter as complex as love, the author approaches the topic with a weighted brevity. The metaphors, euphemisms, metaphors and double-entendres work well here; though the literary devices are largely illustrative, they also have a pronounced effect when certain points are emphasized. The resulting effect is that scorn and admonishments are especially biting, regret is almost tangible, and certain comparisons are especially humorous - all the while remaining within thematic scopes and maintaining storyline continuity. Pretty clever. Though written with African influence in mind, the poems are analogous to many.In this age of ubiquitous Insta-poetry, Alakkuu's Wet Grass Vanilla does a good job establishing its own identity. Definitely worth a read.

    Best Poetry Book of the Year!
  

*by F***F on Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2019*

Wet Grass Vanilla has to be one of the most well-thought and structured works of poetry I've read. Alakkuu does a tremendous job in taking the reader through all phases of love and self-love, with each chapter being as poignant and relatable as the previous one. The saying "less is more" couldn't be more appropriate in describing his ability, and the way each stanza made me read and re-read from different perspectives shows me that loving yourself is the first step in being the best person you can be to those who matter the most.

    Poetic Justice is putting it lightly
  

*by N***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2018*

Amazing, beautiful poems. Short but to the point. And the double-entendres are out of this world! And on top of all that, you have the progression. Like it’s own plot, it has a beginning, middle (climax), and end. And like a well-done plot, it takes you through it so seamlessly, you can only recognize your own life in parts of it...or all of it.The author does an amazing job of making you see your life in his words, while at the same time giving you a new perspective on those same experiences.In short...brilliant.
