How to Say Babylon by Safiya Sinclair

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad

5.0

A memoir that demonstrates how a poet's words are their lifeline. The anchor amidst turbulence that is awaiting its moment of tranquility. Sinclair's writing and character are forces to be reckoned with and her story is so simultaneously sharp and tender. Whilst there isn't so much a sense of urgency in her need to tell this story, it is clear that it is a necessary work, an emergence of a voice that has been trying to articulate the moments that have led up to this place of hope.
