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

4.0

Really lovely poetry. Obviously, I was a sucker for the recurring religious motifs and the exploration of immigration and home. Warsan Shire has a very visual way of writing and many of her poems felt like they told an entire story in a few lines. Many of her poems are short, but manage to pack a punch anyway.
Some of my favorite poems include: “My Loneliness is Killing Me”; “Home”; “Photographs of Hooyo”; “Joyride”; “Backwards”; “Bless this House”; “Bless our Blue Bodies.”
