Urbanshee by Siaara Freeman
4.0
This collection of poems felt raw and uncut, and truly made me feel like the poet was speaking directly to me, the reader.
She’s opened herself up in a way so true to herself to share her story, and the story of her father, and of growing up black, facing racism, loss and love.
I enjoyed that there were undertones of mythology and that it was present, without overtaking the poet’s stories or messages throughout.
