Don't Let Your Figs Rot by Nana Juste

This poetry collection focuses on figs as a metaphor in various ways gor all the chances available to pick from in life. The Tree Was Heavy, about the branches life gives you some heavy, some light and joyful but overall can make you overthink the choices. All The Lives I Didn't Live and lots of poems especially in the final few poems of the book talk openly and honestly of the pain of choices made and the ones never taken that linger in their own form of grief. It was a beautiful collection of poetry to sit with and read in one go and the fig metaphor was brilliantly executed throughout the collection.
