Really enjoying this series so far and this one was probably my favourite so far. Obviouly, Warsan Shire is incredible but I also liked Sharon Olds quite a bit. I thought Malika Booker was good but her stuff didn't stick with me as much - but that's probably not a reflection on her since I read her poems in the middle of the night when I was basically dead to the world and to literature.

Warsan Shire is by far the best of the three.

'no one leaves home unless
home is the mouth of a shark (...)
no one leaves home until home is a sweaty voice in your ear
saying-
leave,
run away from me now
i dont know what i’ve become
but i know that anywhere
is safer than here'
