Love and Verse

Naima Alam is a 24-year-old poet stirred into writing by her love for all things ominous, ambiguous, and confusing. Her respect for poetry was awakened by all whimsical ingredients of the written and spoken word. Her poetry is a fusion of mystical spirituality, teeny-bopper playful crush stories, magical imaginings, and dreams of an idealistic Bohemian love. Through her verse we experience the flight in her mind's eye as she visualizes herself as an unruly, defiant adventurer wading through the muddy backwoods of love, she herself an embodiment of haze, anticipation, and heart, unconcerned with disapproval and sometimes with reality.

From Somalia with Love

"My name is Safia Dirie. My family has always been my mum, Hoyo, and my two older brothers, Ahmed and Abdullahi. I don't really remember Somalia - I'm an East London girl, through and through. But now Abo, my father, is coming from Somalia to live with us, after 12 long years. How am I going to cope?" Safia knows that there will be changes ahead but nothing has prepared her for the reality of dealing with Abo's cultural expectations, her favourite brother Ahmed's wild ways, and the temptation of her cousin Firdous's party-girl lifestyle. Safia must come to terms with who she is - as a Muslim, as a teenager, as a poet, as a friend, but most of as a daughter to a father she has never known. Safia must find her own place in the world, so both father and daughter can start to build the relationship they both long for. From Somalia With Love is one girl's quest to discover who she is - a story that, while rooted in Somali and Muslim life, strikes a chord with young people everywhere.
