Sakina MohammedShe recently published a book of poems, titled My Poetic Place: The Journey to Self-Discovery, and had a chat with Brunch to take us through the inspiration and meaning behind the book. Back in school, I started writing stories and poems; then I later studied literature as a subject for my Ordinary Levels (O/Ls). I’ve had such amazing teachers growing up that it surely is at school that the inspiration and passion for my writing came from. As the name suggests, My Poetic Place: The Journey to Self-Discovery, my poetry is my comforting spot and these poems are messages to my soul in good times and bad, dedicated to different walks of life and human emotions and experiences through my journey of discovering myself. ‘My Poetic Place: The Journey to Self-Discovery’ by Sakina Mohammed can be purchased via The Jam Fruit Tree publications.
