Abstract
As a writer of Somali descent raised in the United Kingdom, Warsan Shire intertwines poetic landscapes with concrete struggles she, her family members, and friends have experienced since the Civil War in Somalia began. Her 2022 debut poetry collection Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head tackles haunting and difficult topics such as the atrocities of war, migration and immigration, racism, gender-based violence, loss of identity, and alienation. The poems are simultaneously direct, merciless, and poignant. For the most part, Shire utilizes her trauma and loss as a foundation of the poems that raise multifaceted questions relevant in the contemporary society. As the paper will show by looking at issues such as intersectionality, sexism, and racism, Warsan Shire’s poetry articulates the plights of those who are disregarded and unjustly treated by society. It represents forced migrants, war victims and Black women as highly marginalized groups whose struggles are rarely voiced, often neglected, and always tainted by Otherness.
