Beschreibung
With her first full-length poetry collection, award-winning Somali British poet Warsan Shire introduces us to a girl who, in the absence of a nurturing guide, makes her own stumbling way toward womanhood. Drawing from her own life and the lives of loved ones, as well as pop culture and news headlines, Shire finds vivid, unique details in the experiences of refugees and immigrants, mothers and daughters, Black women and teenage girls. From the celebrated collaborator on Beyoncé's "Lemonade" and "Black Is King".
