Questions for Ada Review: Poems like salt, poems like honey, poems that comfort, poems that sting - This poetry collection is breathtakingly beautiful. Ijeoma Umebinyuo is writing for women, about the experience of being a woman. The poems are about self-worth and self loathing, about love, about trauma, about family. Some are about Nigeria; some are about being a student abroad. There are poems so short that you can hold a whole one under your tongue and smuggle it across international lines, and others that are longer and unfold a whole story. Here's a very short one that I love: Stay let me tell you how salt fell in love one day, salt found water and just would not let go. --Ocean Here's a slightly longer one: Your lover sped away leaving tire marks on your skin. You have resolved to eating yesterday for breakfast. I watch you gather your memories like firewood, warming yourself for yet another lonely night. There are also about mothers and daughters: You are your mother's amen to all her prayers the calm to her trembling soul she gathers our happiness rubbing it on her skin till she begins to glow Another, "Glory" Before the year ends teach yourself five things your mother never taught you then, teach yourself five things you want to teach your daughter Let me leave you with one about homesickness, called "aching hearts//missing home" At the embassy, they never warned us about days america will feel so lonely, we will gather our mother tongue hastily swallowing words that remind us of home to keep warm I'm going to treasure this book, and I look forward to many more poems and poetry collections by Ijeoma Umebinyuo. Review: I'm so glad I spent my money on it - I almost forgot to leave a review but this book really does live up to the hype. It's so well written and so relatable. It made me cry, it gave me confidence, it spoke to me. This book has literally changed my life, I'm not exaggerating. It's helped me realize so much, helped me start my self-love journey. I'm so glad I spent my money on it, it's easily the one thing I own that I am most proud of. I recommended it to everyone I know and I hope they get it. I got done with this book in 2 days. I started it the night it arrived and I couldn't put it down. I've read it once a week since then. If you're contemplating getting this book, get it. You will NOT regret it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,140,590 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #82 in African Poetry (Books) #2,414 in Poetry by Women #3,766 in American Poetry (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 686 Reviews | ## Images ![Questions for Ada - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61HkYclmGxL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Poems like salt, poems like honey, poems that comfort, poems that sting *by F***R on August 13, 2015* This poetry collection is breathtakingly beautiful.

These are the kinds of poems that immediately as I am reading them I feel my heart tighten and sometimes tears start to gather in my eyes. They make me feel heavy with pain I am still trying actively to forget, but also light from finally letting them spill out from me onto the page. There are so many beautiful poems here. Even if you follow her on social media like I do and have read many of her shorter poems, buy this anyway. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/17155938-questions-for-ada](https://www.desertcart.in/products/17155938-questions-for-ada) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
