Shire wrote the poetry for the Peabody Award–winning visual album Lemonade and the Disney film Black Is King in collaboration with Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. She is the youngest member of the Royal Society of Literature and is included in the Penguin Modern Poets series.

She was awarded the inaugural Brunel International African Poetry Prize and served as the first Young Poet Laureate of London. She has written two chapbooks, Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth and Her Blue Body. Warsan Shire is a Somali British writer and poet born in Nairobi and raised in London. Warsan has read her work internationally, including recent readings in South Africa, Italy and Germany, and her poetry has been translated into Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. Born in 1988, she is an artist and activist who uses her work to document narratives of journey and trauma. Warsan Shire is a Kenyan-born Somali poet and writer who is based in London. As Rumi said, “Love will find its way through all languages on its own” in ‘teaching my mother how to give birth’, Warsan’s début pamphlet, we witness the unearthing of a poet who finds her way through all preconceptions to strike the heart directly. What elevates teaching my mother how to give birth, what gives the poems their disturbing brilliance, is Warsan Shire’s ability to give simple, beautiful eloquence to the veiled world where sensuality lives in the dominant narrative of Islam reclaiming the more nuanced truths of earlier times – as in Tayeb Salih’s work – and translating to the realm of lyric the work of the likes of Nawal El Saadawi.
