Victoria Adukwei Bulley’s debut collection, Quiet, circles around ideas of black interiority, intimacy and selfhood, playing at the tensions between the impulse to guard one’s "inner life" and the knowledge that, as Audre Lorde writes, "your silence will not protect you". The poems teem with grace and dignity, are artful in their shapes, sharp in their intelligence, and possessing of a good ear, finely attuned to the sonics that fascinate and motivate the writing "at the lower end of sound".
