Product Information

I stumbled upon Warsan Shire's work after attending a spoken word event when I was in New York last summer.

Here is a quick description and cover image of book Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth written by Warsan Shire which was published in 2011-12-29. People forget these are humans that only want to feel safe, to have food for their family, to get educated and do better.

This paper examines the political themes in three collections of poetry by Abdirahman Gaileh Mirreh (1942-2000). Her poems are also online, many of which are not in this collection, but which I am hoping will be published in other books by her. Her poems have been published in Wasafiri, Magma and Poetry Review and in the anthology 'The Salt Book of Younger Poets' (Salt, 2011). This notion of oceanic relationality lends itself to analyses of the work of Somalian-British poet Warsan Shire.

Yet the threshold is not only a metaphor for the creative process; it is a liminal space where certain kinds of knowledge can be sensed in passing. Even though it's simple in its wording, it's going to sucker-punch you again and again; it made me cry ugly tears.

As a woman entering a relationship set yourself on fire in the same sense, do not become meek and docile: do not allow him to take over.They are thought, not only by the opposite sex, but by their own, to be less than another if they are not virgins, or if they have committed anything remotely considered forbidden. Her fiction has appeared in Narrative Magazine, and her poetry chapbook was selected by Kwame Dawes for inclusion in the New-Generation African Poets series from Akashic Books. The latter focuses on one’s transformation when relocating to a different country: the family learns a new, sophisticated accent and has to bear what is common among immigrant families—the idea that foreign experiences will alter one of your own.
