About this event
Join Unity Books Wellington and We Are Babies for the launch of the new poetry collection by Khadro Mohamed. With a launch speech from Ronia Ibrahim and readings from special guests!
We’re All Made of Lightning is the debut poetry collection from Wellington-based writer Khadro Mohamed. Mohamed expertly navigates the experience of being a Muslim woman in Aotearoa, bringing us along on her journey of selfhood. Shifting between Aotearoa, Egypt and Somalia, we get a glimpse into her worlds, which are rich and full of life. Mohamed has a sense of wonder for the world around her, exploring nature, food, family and identity. This book is a love letter to her homeland, her whakapapa, and herself.
All welcome!
