"mother says there are locked rooms inside all women; kitchen of lust,
bedroom of grief, bathroom of apathy.
sometimes, the men - they come with keys,
and sometimes, the men - they come with hammers."
(enough said. 5 stars.)

“Show us on the doll where you were touched, they said.
I said I don’t look like a doll, I look like a house.
They said Show us on the house.
Like this: two fingers in the jam jar
Like this: an elbow in the bathwater
Like this: a hand in the drawer.”
This book is so loud in its words!

Very few poets come near Warsan, in my opinion. She is truly in her own field. This poetry collection touches on friendship, relationships, FGM, rape, cancer. 'The House' is the most remarkable poem out of the collection, in my opinion. Many have used houses as analogies for the body before but look at the way Warsan does it, wow....

Sometimes, the men - they come with keys,
And sometimes, the men - they come with hammers.
