I saw a snippet of Warsan's poem "Home" on social media, and was so captivated by her writing that I immediately bought her book - despite not being a fan of poetry.
Bless The Daughter reeled me in with each line of beautifully (and often painfully) written text. This book has triggered my new love & appreciation of poetry! It provides an incredible insight into her experiences and inner monologue.... so whether you can relate to it or learn from it, I can promise you that this book is powerful and a privilege to read.

A super powerful collection about war, being a refugee, abuse, and family.
My favorite poems were: “Home”; “Backwards”; “Bless this house”
