From the first line of her new poetry collection, Love Theft, Isioma Miranda West captures your attention and your heart. With her poignant poetry, she deftly explores and untangles a complicated relationship between two passionate but damaged people.
Their subsequent breakup and its fallout unfold through a series of haunting insights and questions asked by the speaker. Although they are no longer together, the young woman can't deny the connection that existed between them. Their messy breakup causes her to question her entire identity. As she goes back to those early, charged moments of attraction and the quiet betrayals that signified the end, she demands an explanation.
Detailing every heartbreaking detail of their relationship, she shows how the two danced around each other, connected for a moment, and once more pulled away.
Throughout this elaborate tango, West speaks important truths about the nature of toxic relationships and the effects they can have on future connections. Her speaker has been thrown by both the passion of this romance and the devastation of the subsequent breakup. As the woman reveals her deep anxieties and fears, she can begin moving toward a healthier, happier place in life.
