Nayyirah Waheed is a literary magician

ByHakunaon September 2, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I cannot recommend this work enough. Nayyirah Waheed is a literary magician whose concise and incisive poems simultaneously touch the heart, soul, and mind in ways that heal, wake up, and inspire. All at once profound, authentic, and stunningly beautiful, her poems are also very accessible. Nayyirah Waheed seems to recognize that poetry is not so much about fancy word choice as it is about speaking from the heart, and she articulates what her heart beats without pretension or ostentation, though her words and creativity are undoubtedly thought provoking, soul stirring, and totally compelling...they will have you returning to the bookshelf over and over again to visit them and to share them with others. Absolutely brilliant. I love "salt" and am grateful to Nayyirah Waheed for sharing her gift with the world.

Well named, well earned

ByA Readeron March 28, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Like salt, there's a care in how each word, each poem is signified. Like salt, these poems are best read judiciously, seasoning our awareness, each poem a crystal in itself.

Led me to a lot of exploration

ByLestah Bankson January 17, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The language is so simple and direct but so cutting and digging into a lot of things that I wish to reflect in my own personal interpretations of myself. As a male person exploring integrating more vulnerability and truth into my life for better relationships this book offers valuable words.

A friend shared this quote on a social media outlet and led me to this book:

"You will find your way. It is in the same place as your love.
-seek "

I love this book so much I bought it twice

ByBrittany Nettleson April 26, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I love this book so much I bought it twice. In my self care box is where this book lays. On days more taxing than others, on days life made me cry out for something greater than myself I grab this book. Every time I journey through the flowers of this book I find something discover something different. It feelslike a love letter from my sister. It says "you were built for survival, you were made to thrive! Fall in love with yourself and if you are so inclined someone else too. It's fine to hurt, it natural to want, allow yourself the space to be." I love this book and when you get it you will too!

This book is a gift to your heart, your soul, your intellect....it has touched me deeply and I have bought this book for the most special people in my life. <3

The meaning between the words

ByKat Lehmann, authoron July 5, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

There are ideas we cannot easily express. Ideas that are between words. And for that, we have poetry. I think Nayyirah Waheed has revitalized a widespread interest in poetry, and many who did not think they enjoy poetry now realize they do! How wonderful! There is much for us to say between the words.
