Safia Elhillo performs a series of poems at The Strivers Row's Poetic Soul show

[@mehvishr]

"That's not the point. I'm not looking for anyone serious, I'm just looking for someone to water my plants after I'm gone" "I can't go home with you, home is a place in time" So beautiful and tragic. I love these lines

[@Mxrclxrk]

the way this piece was written is freaking amazing, oh my goodness she is stunning!!!!

[@jamilmohammedal-ghazali5007]

Safia, your poems are first class, rather painful, but you're a classic young lady, may you find your star....from American/Sudani

This girl reminds me so much of Jhene Aiko, idk man, something about her calms my soul. Beautiful piece. Love from South Africa.

She is our maya anjelo relived now

[@isamali6962]

That is very awesome poem , you are leveraging the soul of Arabic poetry, with your own amazing style mixing with your family spirit, really exciting way to perform this type of arts , which defiantly need sophisticated culture and talented Sudanese young women like you .

[@hassanabdulazim]

"The generation that would leave to make nostalgia of these very nights, to hyphenate their children, and grow gnarled by diaspora every winter" "Love is just something to do until the war starts" This poem sends chills down my spine every single time Excellent work Safia Elhillo!

the instant she started reading her poetry - it was so powerful.

[@GracefullyKaren]

One of my favorite pieces from Safia

[@mohmaster2610]

Safia is treasure to english poems because she is a bridge from Arabic to English, also she is fully emersed in sudanese rich culture, I cannot say enough. When I say sudan icannt explain enough and u cannot understand clear picture unless u live there and ur heart is flying in a journey never imagined and never written in a book.

Saw almost all of these poems at #CUPSI16 and was absolutely SHATTERED. Safia, beautiful.
