Drawing from her own life, 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. In Shire’s hands, lives spring into fullness. This is noisy life, full of music and weeping and surahs and sirens and birds. This is fragrant life, full of blood and perfume and shisha smoke and jasmine and incense. This is polychrome life, full of henna and moonlight and lipstick and turmeric and kohl. The long-awaited collection from one of our most exciting contemporary poets, this book is a blessing, an incantatory celebration of resilience and survival. Each reader will come away changed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Warsan Shire","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45497529401520,"sku":null,"price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/6821\/9056\/files\/71ViOL7lGPL._SL1500.jpg?v=1785646857","url":"https:\/\/www.umojabooks.com\/products\/bless-the-daughter-raised-by-a-voice-in-her-head-poems-1","provider":"Umoja House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
