A review by sentientstars
Urbanshee by Siaara Freeman
4.0
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of Urbanshee in exchange for an honest review.
Urbanshee is a heart-wrenching collection portraying Freeman's pains, thoughts, and lived experiences. As a reader who does not often indulge in poetry, I was utterly blown away by the emotions that bled through the page, and even if I have personally not been a Black woman in America or have my father die in such a gruesome manner, Freeman made me feel so deeply. The poems in Urbanshee pierce your heart with the shattered shards of the poet, but we also have the pleasure to watch Freeman knit herself back together.
Thank you Siaara Freeman for sharing such a vulnerable part of yourself. Everyone that will pick this up will keep it safe.
