''I will teach my daughter not to wear her skin like a drunken apology. I will tell her '' make a home out of your body, live in yourself , do not let people turn you into a regret, do not justify yourself. If you are a disaster it is not forever, if you are a disaster you're the most beautiful one i have ever seen"

Nice - I love the quote about being difficult to love in one of her poems. She is a great poet. Classic literature.

Yes, I can't remember much about her, I know she's living in England but may have immigrated when young. So she's got this amazing voice which is multicultural yet alone, her experiences of being a woman really resonate with me. She's young but so mature and her language is simply beautiful. She's not afraid to be political which is rare these days. She will be read for years to come.
