Nomad Diaries
Yasmeen Maxamuud is a writer who began writing to tell the stories of the Somali Diaspora community in America. Influenced by a rich poetic culture and the vivid stories of women, Yasmeen began eavesdropping on women gatherings where women leisurely exchanged stories. This constant curiosity, coupled with an African tradition of nightly story telling, has had a lasting effect on the way her stories are woven together to capture the aroma, texture and layers that mark her unique story telling.--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
