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

5.0

---

I absolutely fell in love with Warshan Shire’s lyricism within this collection. “Hoyoo Isn’s Home”, “Backwards”, “Trichotillomania”, “Bless This House”, and “Grief Has Its Blue Hands in My Hair” were my favorite poems within this book. Shire speaks on womanhood, migration, and trauma with painfully beautiful words and I look forward to reading more of her work.
