Blu the Baqi simultaneously reveals and revels in her coming-to-age experiences and awakening as a young Black woman in America with her soul-baring debut collection of poems, titledHow to Write a Fire. Her poetry fearlessly explores a myriad of themes, including the Black American experience, sexuality, religion, misogyny, and other pertinent topics. Baqi effortlessly glides between the solemn and the sensual; the political and the provocative; the traditional and the taboo; resulting in a relevant, poignant and intimate collection that is ultimately an ode to self-discovery, black culture, and personal truth. The signature “rhythm and Blu” feel of this collection showcases Baqi as an important poet to follow in the coming years.
