it’s short, it’s beautiful, it’s worth your time - the themes are relatable to all.
Moderate: Child abuse, Racism, Child death, War, Sexual violence, and Rape
this is an evocative, emotional, and at times hard to read collection of poems talking about the experiences of young, black women; refugees borne from war; and a blend of both. layered over all of this is Shire’s tie to her homeland of Somalia and the complex feelings surrounded being forced from home and also being grateful at the chance for a better, less oppressive life. it’s short, it’s beautiful, it’s worth your time - the themes are relatable to all.readingwithcoffee's review against another edition

I loved how she tackled the themes of girlhood and womanhood, experiences of being a refugee and immigrant, grief, trauma, celebrations of life, death, family, and more. Each of the four sections offered something unique to the stories she was telling.
There are some really heavy subjects/topics and references in this collection, so be aware.
CW: FGM and gender violence, child abuse and death, rape, death, eating disorders, famine, war and racism, and others.
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Eating disorder, Grief, Racism, Rape, Sexism, War, Body shaming, Cancer, Child abuse, Death, Violence, and Child death
