About the Author
Although Asha Lul Mohamud Yusuf has lived in exile in the UK for 20 years, she is fast emerging as one of the most outstanding Somali poets, as well as a powerful woman poet in a literary tradition still largely dominated by men. The Sea Migrations (Somali title: Tahriib), her first full-length book of poems, was published by Bloodaxe Books with The Poetry Translation Centre in November 2017.
Reviews
Sometimes a book reminds us of poetry's real electric force in the world. Yusuf is a brilliant young Somali poet living in exile in London, who takes 'history's point/to ink a beautiful literature.'... Translated into lapel-grabbing alliterative verse by Clare Pollard, these piercingly direct poems throw open a window onto a war-torn country and its wretchedly displaced people. -- Jeremy Noel-Tod * choosing The Sea-Migrations as his Poetry Book of the Year in The Sunday Times *
