In this post, I want to share a few poems of Nayyirah Waheed’s second book: Nejma. In the previous post, you can find my post dedicated to Waheed’s first book: Salt. As I stated the previous post, Nayyirah Waheed’s writing is so raw, it sometimes seems as if she is talking about you. I will not let you wait any longer! Please, read along and enjoy!
In this post, I want to share an amazing writer, Nayyirah Waheed, whom, I have been crushing on since I read her first poems on Tumblr. Nayyirah Waheed is an American based writer that uses poetry as her medium of self-expression. She writes about love, honey, womanism and racism. Nayyirah Waheed has published two books with her poetry. Salt. was published in 2013, and in 2014 Nejma was published. I am a very proud owner of both, and I cannot thank Nayyirah enough for putting certain things into words that could not have been described otherwise. Let’s get into Salt.!
