Verse from the Village

When Jaha Zainabu started this project of writing a poem a day she didn’t know how far she would get. Turns out, she made it all the way to 365 days. Some days she even wrote more than one. The poems are meant to show that we can write even when we don’t feel like it or don’t know what to write about. Please enjoy going through Jaha’s poems and seeing how her year (2013) unfolded. There are poems in this book that cover the spectrum from sad to happy to comical. This book is real life. There are many poems dedicated to her son, Uraeus and many poems that express gratitude, some even are letters to herself. Read the book front to back or from the middle to front to back. Just have fun.
