‘Every word in this stunning debut collection deserves its place on the page. Akoto skilfully stitches fragments of love, along with forgiveness, compassion, and insight, into the fabric of her life. By doing so, she shines a light into the dark places many of us are afraid to peer into - the cracks, or in some cases large chasms - that can exist in the relationship between mother and daughter. 
Unmothered is poetry at its finest - pure, honest, brave, and touching.’
