Review "The poems in Ayanna Wimberly's new collection Like A Fire examine womenhood through the metaphor of a house in flames. Wimberly does this with remarkable precision in language that burns intensely throughout. Ayanna Wimberly is a rising poet of immense promise.--Leah Huete de Maines About the Author Ayanna Wimberly is a writer born and raised in Chicago. She took to the written world abnormally early in life, penning her first short story when she was 5 years old. She went on to explore other forms of writing, producing and directing a short play at Victory Gardens Theater in Chicago and finding a home in screenwriting while attending New York University for Dramatic Writing. It was there her voice was truly sharpened and is evidence in part by the chapbook Like A Fire. Common themes in Ayanna's writing are detachment, rebirth, warmth, and sensuality. She lives in Chicago.
