Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth Mouthmark Warsan Shire Books Reviews

• First heard of the author from an article referencing beyonce's Lemonade and how Shire contributed to the literary component of the narration. This collection of hers is fire. I felt every phrase in the depths of my own understanding of the pains that she described. Finished the collection in one night and reread pieces for days after. It helps to put words to feelings you've always known to be true, but were never quite validated by society's fear of acknowledging all that is hurtful and unjust in the world and how that trauma is passed down by generation.
• To understand yourself and where you are, you must first start at the beginning. This artist can take a situation and make it every woman's story. If you are looking for a good read, read this. It could help you understand yourself or possibly someone else.
• Exceptionally provocative writing- Warsan Shire's poetry lends itself as a patch worked maze of emotions cohesively painting a movie of depression, acceptance, strength, and self awareness that extends to the reader in ways that will leave you challenged to redefine your own reality. Although a very brief read, my suggestion is to read several of the poems, and let them permeate throughout your day before continuing.
  While I learned of her voice through "Lemonade", I'd suggest that Beyonce could not have included a better creator than Shire to include and give true depth of connection to her video.
• The title is tantalizing and you open the pages because you want to discover what she means. And what you find is Warsan is unafraid. At least in the way that when you begin to delve in to the words of her poetry, you start to see her nakedness, vulnerability. She seems unafraid to be plain, unafraid to be esoteric, unafraid to relate.
  It may be obvious that some of the pieces do not seem to have been churned and refined over time; but each piece seems to form a chain to create this formidable tapestry.
  Because of its apparent sincerity in the writer’s intention to share her thoughts, Teaching My Mother How To Give Birth may well be a book of instruction. On self scrutiny and unconditional self acceptance.
• Warsan Shire's poems are poignant, beautiful, and resonant. She voices the pain of being imbricated in cultures, the rejection of the adoptive culture and the sense of displacement. She torques language and brings the reader to new understanding of the immigrant's experience. I'll be using this book in my Critical Thinking class.
• The M O V E M E N T
  in this book
  is
  
  LOVEly.
  
  It's like LIFE full of the good, the Bad & the UGLY.
  
  BUT a whole LOT of good is in this.
• Strong and original poetry, with each word and sentence vividly evoking lives and places and experiences. Her language is unflinching, and densely packed with emotions. A sometimes harrowing, sometimes brilliantly illuminating, collection of poetry that cuts really close to the bone.
• Beautiful, vivid imagery through poignant words, perfectly placed, line after line. Don't read when sad, though. These are not light fluffy poems; these are searing needles of truth on weathered skin.
