Summary:  "Whose testimony is valid? Whose testimony is worth recording? Osman's speakers, who are almost always women, assert and reassert in an attempt to establish authority, often through persistent questioning. Specters of race, displacement, and colonialism are often present in her work, providing momentum for speakers to reach beyond their primary, apparent dimensions and better communicate. The Kitchen-Dweller's Testimony is about love and longing, divorce, distilled desire, and all the ways we injure ourselves and one another"--Provided by publisher. "Ladan Osman was born in Somalia. She earned a BA at Otterbein College and an MFA at the University of Texas at Austin's Michener Center for Writers. Her chapbook, Ordinary Heaven, appears in Seven New Generation African Poets (2014). She lives in Chicago"--From poetryfoundation.org website. Genre:  American poetry.
