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

4.0

“No one would leave home unless home chased you to the shore. ” - Warsan Shire’s Bless the Daughter Raised


So many powerful, raw poems! Some of my favorite and striking were ‘Bless The Blood’, ‘Assimilation’, ‘Bless Your Ugly Daughter’, and ‘Midnight in the Foreign Food Aisle.’ Warsan creates beautiful, descriptive masterpieces and deserves all the recognition!

“But God, doesn’t she wear the world well” - excerpt from ‘Bless Your Ugly Daughter’
