A book about leaving home, becoming a woman, cannibalism, female genital mutilation and so much more. I love to hear her read her poems aloud. She brings life to her poetry. Glad for the glossary in the back of the book to help understand the terminology used. Some of the poetry is sad and some uplifting. No one can pull this type of poetry collection off except Warsan Shire.
This collection was so damn good. Some of the poems are legit haunting. Also what Shire does with images (creating & communicating them), and form is remarkable.
no one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark.
so stupid good, warsan shire is too talented

These beautifully written poems express pain, girlhood, womanhood, and strength.
