Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head by Warsan Shire

5.0

An astonishing debut collection of poetry from Warsan Shire. Tender, violent, intimate poems about the refugee experience and growing up as a woman in a culture and society that doesn't value women and black women in particular. These are poems of things that are hidden and things that shouldn't happen but do. The word gorgeous seems wrong, because they deal with such terrible things, but they are gorgeous. Things of beauty made from things of violence.
