1 BLESS THE DAUGHTER RAISED BY A VOICE IN HER HEAD

Warsan Shire (March, 2022)

A highly anticipated collection of poems written by the Somali-British poet who collaborated with Beyoncé on Lemonade and Black is King. Drawing on current events and her own life, the visceral poems artfully stitch together pockets of perception into the lived experiences of marginalised people including Black women and migrants. By unpacking a potent mixture of racial and social complexities, the book invites us to engage in a rich cultural exchange.
