The Blood and Body

The Blood and Body is a collection of poetry by multidisciplinary artist Nubia Yasin.

Family photos, surreal illustrations, and Yasin’s own unique voice as a self described First Generation Somali-Southern Belle combine to create a new world, one equipped with its own folklore and laws of physics.

With her poetry, Yasin crafts a world where babies are born from their mother’s throats. A world where a scorned lover can climb directly into her cheating husband’s chest…

…to see who has his heart now.
