Jai Amirrah Poetry
My poetry lives at the intersection of memory, movement, and meaning. I write toward what feels unsaid—mapping longing, love, and interiority through lyric language and cultural texture. My work often explores Black womanhood, spirituality, and the relationship between the natural world and emotional truth. Whether grounded in personal experience or imagined distance, my poems are driven by rhythm, intuition, and the quiet tension between beauty and survival.
I’m especially interested in what lingers beneath clarity—grief disguised as grace, silence mistaken for peace, joy that demands nothing in return. Water is a recurring symbol in my work: tidal, reflective, and always in motion. My debut poetry collection, Where to Hide During a Hurricane, explores disaster and tenderness as parallel forces, each reshaping what it means to endure, to witness, and to choose softness anyway.
