I'm not going to lie, I found Warsan Shire through Beyonce's "Lemonade". I was completely captivated by that piece of art and I just needed more of it. Thanks to my sister, I was able to find Warsan Shire. I asked for her newest poetry book after having read some of it on the internet. It was so wonderful and raw, there was no way that I couldn't read more of it. My sister pulled through for me once more (THANK YOU KANDA) when she bought me the book for Christmas. It took me only a day to read this book, but I have gone back and read several of the poems over again because they are just so powerful. Warsan just has a way with words that is so beautiful and yet so painful and true. Especially the poems that have to be about the emotions that she or other women feel in this world. Also, the aspects of culture within this story were wonderful as well. Everything felt so relatable to me personally even though I have had completely different experiences than that is described in the poetry. The figurative language took me to a completely different place. It really touched me. I absolutely loved this poetry collection and recommend it to anyone who is into poetry.
