Pickpick

Whoops this doesn't come out until March but you will want this poetry collection. You think you don't recognize the poet's name but most of the words in Beyonce's Lemonade were penned by Warsan Shire.

Poems in this collection range from the refugee experience to the body to love. She's also well known for the poem "Home," which can be found online and starts with this line:
"no one leaves home unless
home is the mouth of a shark"
↘️

ReadingEnvy Shire is British, born to Somali parents in Kenya, so many of her poems ponder belonging and place.

I will recommend the audio, read by the poet. Thanks to Random House Audio for an early listen through the #volumesapp
