One of the most unique and fiercely feminist poetry books I've read.
Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head
By Warsan Shire
I am not generally a reader of poetry, but Shire’s first full length collection reverberates through me on a body level. It is filled with familiar themes of home countries, mothers and daughters, abuse, violence and resilience, presented in a narrative form unfamiliar to me, and I savored each poem. I found myself turning back the pages to reread the vivid imagery, so beautifully crafted. I wish the translations were on each page, instead of in the glossary at the end of the book, as my flow was constantly interrupted as I was flipping to the back of the book. I read this book without any knowledge about the author and now I’m a fan. I highly recommend this collection and look forward to immersing myself in more poetry.
My thanks to NetGalley for an Advanced Readers Copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in any way.

I want to go home, but home is the mouth of a shark. Home is the barrel of a gun. No one would leave home unless home chased you to the shore.
Your daughter’s face is a small riot, her hands are a civil war, she has a refugee camp tucked behind each ear, her body is a body littered with ugly things but God, doesn’t she wear the world well.
