I don't think this is an outright bad collection - I wouldn't warn people off it, and there was the occasional poem, such as the one for Victoria Climbie, that I found moving. It just felt hollow to me, and overly pared back in comparison to TMMHTGB.

it’s short, it’s beautiful, it’s worth your time - the themes are relatable to all.
Moderate: Child abuse, Child death, Racism, Rape, Sexual violence, and War
this is an evocative, emotional, and at times hard to read collection of poems talking about the experiences of young, black women; refugees borne from war; and a blend of both. layered over all of this is Shire’s tie to her homeland of Somalia and the complex feelings surrounded being forced from home and also being grateful at the chance for a better, less oppressive life. it’s short, it’s beautiful, it’s worth your time - the themes are relatable to all.readingwithcoffee's review against another edition
