Simply COULD NOT put this one down. I couldn’t find anything that I disliked about this collection of poems. Every single one of them captivated me.
“No one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark. You only run for the border when you see the whole city running as well.”
Hauntingly beautiful words about horrific situations.

I particularly loved "Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth" and "Our Men Do Not Belong To Us", but I found this collection to be much more opaque, and apart for a few beautiful lines I just didn't connect with the writing.
