Warsan Shire
Warsan shire is a London raised poet/writer and teacher of East African heritage. One of the most intriguing characteristics of her writing is her choice to be a voice for the voiceless. The essence of her work can be described as raw, and touches on hints of nostalgia from the perspective of those who have lost their homes, lives, and national value as a result of war. Despite the fact that she doesn’t have a personal experience with war, post-war trauma, loss, immigration and all the horror tales in between that are experienced by refugees. Her words paint vivid and detailed images of these scenarios.
