It has been a good long while since I’ve read any poetry, but by midway through this collection, I was back into it. Elhillo tackles girlhood, womanhood, her Sudanese culture, and violence against women artfully and powerfully. While a poem or two went over my head, the
collection did resonate with me, especially “Ode to My Homegirls.”
