All Made of Longing (Bamboo Talk Press), the debut poetry collection by Guyanese singer-songwriter and musician Ruth Osman, presents a broad swathe of human emotion, perceived through a feminist, womanist, and sensualist lens. Osman’s poems contain an innate lyrical quality, when speaking of both romantic and familial love. A similar richness is employed when the poet reflects on complex notions of identity and purpose. The poems invite welcome contemplations on the role of Caribbean artists to represent their lived realities.
