My Daughter, My Angel by Tyrishma Allen

The power of the wonderfully formed book MY DAUGHTER, MY ANGEL comes from Tyrishma Allen‘s struggle against human and natural forces, and her own ability to articulate into language the sorrow from loss. Allen expresses this grief in a brilliant and stirring manner.

“Ty Allen’s poetry about the death of her 24-day-old baby girl gives voice to the immeasurable grief shared by childless mothers everywhere. By creating art of her pain, Ms. Allen poignantly illustrates that the loss of a baby, no matter how briefly that life was lived, is not an experience to “get over” or “get closure with,” but rather one that is eventually integrated into a mother’s life, complete with a deep and abiding sorrow. Raw and authentic, Ms. Allen’s poetry also expresses the enduring love for a little soul who left too soon.”
