Its purpose is to be thought-provoking and to make the reader think about life, and how parents can lift their children up, but also bring them down if they are not careful.

Double dutch, braided scalps, tender-heads, tears shed, bologna and white bread, childhood apparitions, buried dead, petal's phenomenon: these are the images Games's first collection of poetry leaves you with. With reverence for the confessional poems she wrote through the years, Games invites you to radically tell the truth through a lyrical reverie of remembering: "Do not forget the soil you grew in." Somebody's Daughter, the first full-length collection by Jasmine Games, is a necessary read for all those who seek to reckon with the facts of their life.

Lagos, Life and Sexual Distraction is a collection of 12 short stories, mostly focused on the distinct character of life in Lagos--the commercial capital of Nigeria--but with two stories dedicated to the very different plight of people living in northern Nigeria, which suffers attacks from the Islamist insurgency Boko Haram. The book attempts to teleport the reader to Africa, to experience what an average Nigerian does to keep his or her dreams, hopes and aspirations alive. It also shows the tensions that exist between the generations, between the sexes and between different social classes and ethnicities.

Through astute observations, Jeanine Stevens reminds us that the remarkable is always around us.

In that sense, it is both a timelyand enduring book, one that recalls Virgil's Georgics as readily as it evokes the crisis of anthropogenicclimate change.
