The poems in Roll Deep are whimsical, urbane, and introspective, seeking a rhythmic sound that expresses the realities of the twenty-first century. Whether about child soldiers in Dadaab, a refugee camp in East Kenya, or human intimacy, the poems build community across borders of language and style. From Urban Renewal, "The Dadaab Suite": I have come to Dadaab like an actor on a press release, unprepared for the drained faces of famine-fleeing refugees, my craft's glamour dimmed by hundreds of infant graves, children whose lolling heads' final drop landed on their mothers' backs like soft stones. What beauty can I spell in this swelter of dust?
