Poems of migration, womanhood, trauma, and resilience from the celebrated collaborator on Beyonc 's Lemonade and Black Is King, award-winning Somali British poet Warsan Shire. Mama, I made itout of your home, alive, raised by thevoices in my head. With her first full-length poetry collection, Warsan Shire introduces us to a young girl, who, in the absence of a nurturing guide, makes her own stumbling way towards womanhood.
