Sabeeha Hussain has said some people find peace through her poetic works as they see her share a part in their pains; but there are others who are not comfortable with the poems.

The young poet from Kano state who spoke to Daily Trust YOUTHVILLE recently had a book reading and signing of her book ‘SoulUnraveled: Rising from the ashes’.

The event which held in Abuja at Tarbiyah Books Plus had her reading from her book, signing copies of the book and interacting with readers.

She said ‘SoulUnraveled: Rising from the ashes’ is a poetry book themed after the mythical bird, the Phoenix that is said to be reborn from the ashes after being burnt to the ground.

It has six chapters tagged differently: spark, ignite, burn, ashes, embers and rising.

Sabeeha said, “My work makes a lot of people uncomfortable, and I get backlash for it. But it means absolutely nothing because I have many more that find peace in it, in knowing they are not alone in their pain.

“In realizing that there is strength left to be found somewhere in the ashes. If I can give hope, to just one soul out there, it is enough for me,” said Sabeeha as she reflected on her expectations.
