520			_a*Shortlisted for the Costa Poetry Prize 2017* *Selected as a 2017 Book of the Year in the Guardian and Daily Telegraph* ?Urban and urbane, it?s a magnificent debut? Daily Telegraph ?A brilliant debut - a tender, nostalgic and at times darkly hilarious exploration of black boyhood, masculinity and grief - from one of my favourite writers? - Warsan Shire Translating as ?initiation?, kumukanda is the name given to the rites a young boy from the Luvale tribe must pass through before he is considered a man. The poems of Kayo Chingonyi?s remarkable debut explore this passage: between two worlds, ancestral and contemporary; between the living and the dead; between the gulf of who he is and how he is perceived. Underpinned by a love of music, language and literature, here is a powerful exploration of race, identity and masculinity, celebrating what it means to be British and not British, all at once.
