Poet and spoken word performer Sophia Thakur's collection of written poetry dives into issues of heartbreak, love, family, friendship, and race. Thakur's raw and powerful collection speaks to anyone, but especially women of colour and mixed race people, who are trying to figure out their own place in the world. Though the collection itself is only 112 pages, you are guaranteed to read and reread many of the poems for their deeper insights. You can also watch Thakur perform her poetry on her YouTube channel.
