Inhaltsangabe:

A change is as good as a rest, but change is rarely restful.

In her second full collection, Malaika Kegode sits with the transformations we choose and the ones that choose us. Good as a Rest is a collection of poems and stories that explore moments of change - from grief and nature, to finding community in a circle of strangers sharing words.

Inspired by life, loss and her experience as a workshop leader and mentor, this is a warm and witty paean to the resilience of the human spirit, and the power of creativity to heal.
