Fats here.

Last week, I ignited the fire with Nikita Gill’s poem. This week, I’ll let the fire burn brighter with not one but two poems* by inspiring female poets, Sandra Cisneros and Warsan Shire. I stumbled upon them through a post by Thought Catalog. Enjoy!

Many thanks to Jama at Jama’s Alphabet Soup for hosting the Poetry Friday round-up!

About Fats Suela

Fats is the Assistant Manager for Circulation Services at the Wayne County Public Library in Wooster, Ohio. She considers herself a reader of all sorts, although she needs to work on her non-fiction reading. Fats likes a good mystery but is not too fond of thrillers. She takes book hoarding seriously and enjoys collecting bookmarks and tote bags. When she is not reading, Fats likes to shop pet apparel for her cat Penny (who absolutely loathes it).
