Must be tough being in a poetry collection with Warsan Shire.
Jokes beside, I did really enjoy almost every poem, and every poet was reaaally good. The collections binding theme was culture/family/sexuality and despite all 3 poets having a different style, it worked really well.

A great intro into their poetry for me. Although I did like the poetry of Warsan Shire and Malika Booker more than Sharon Olds'. However, "New Mother" by Sharon Olds is brilliant.
Other favourites are listed below.
Malika Booker: Cement, Erasure, How Our Bodies Did This Unfamiliar Thing, My Humble Beseech
Warsan Shire: The House, Backwards, Fire, Mermaids

really enjoyed this and loved the variety between the three voices !! well worth a read and I love that the reason for 4* is that not all of it worked for me but that means so many diff people could get a lot from this :))
