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

3.0

I loved Shire's Time is a Mother collection but this was a bit underwhelming for me. So many poems circles the same ideas with the same imagery that I just felt like the collection would have been great if some of them were combined. There were some really great poems in here but unfortunately they're bracketed by underdeveloped ones. I'd much rather read a shorter collection with strong and thought-out poems.
