The First Twenty-One

A collection of twenty-one poems all written within the first twenty-one years of Tahia's life. Some written from when she was a teenager, the collection exhibits times when Tahia has stuggled the most and turned to poetry to make sense of the world. Dipping into themes like being Brown and British as well as the mental health struggles she faces, Tahia also explores being young and in love as well as the pain of heartbreak. A compilation which is deeply personal and emotional and is her first collection to be exposed to the world.
