What People Are Saying
"It’s obvious that you turn your insides out when you write…your work is strong, emotional, visceral…like a punch to the gut. There’s no mistaking that it comes from someplace within you that can grab a reader and pull them into your world…You rock." -Geenoh (a reader of Farah's poetry blog)
"Farah, you are a complete Godsend. You are a wonderful young woman and I thank the Lord for having met you. Wonderful work. You are such an inspiration to all." -Tamara W.
"I love your poems - but feel my words are inadequate to compliment your work as well as it deserves; your words are incredible, beautiful, a recognisable truth. Thank you for writing, and sharing." -Billy Hunt
