A review by sarahvankuiken
Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head by Warsan Shire

4.0

OOF. This was good. I was handed this by a friend based on the fact that Shire collaborated with Beyoncé, and based on her work prominently featured on the Lemonade visual album, I was already a fan. Many of these poems were an absolute gut punch, heart-wrenchingly beautiful. As I am not the target audience for this text, some of the poems didn’t resonate as intensely with me, but that is not to say they weren’t still great.
