3,000.00

Breasts Are Names of Flowers by Amrah Aliyu is a collection of 62 poems…

The collection embraces the complexities of women and activism — the history, pain, pride, and powerful love of being raised by female rebels. Amrah Aliyu pours all her passion onto the pages of the book.

Breasts Are Names of Flowers opens subtly with “This heart knows no friend”. She recites the words to herself like prayers in “Voices are answers like the rains” —especially after she sees the dilemma of women in a country gravitating off course. The collection continues with what it means to love and fight for women in a society designed to maim. Breasts Are names of flowers ends sadly with “The sight that fails my sight”.
