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

challenging emotional reflective relaxing medium-paced

5.0

As always, Shire's poetry is evocative, powerful, and sincere. She is one of my favourite current feminist poets. I find here writing to be so insightful and so moving; it's one of those pieces you carry with you for a long time after you put the book down. This collection covers topics like Black womanhood, family, migration, trauma, resilience, belonging, and more. Shire writes about the tumultuous bodily experience of womanhood. She looks at the idea of home, boundaries, and bodies. Please go read this, but also do check for content warnings.
