  In her dedication Safia Elhillo writes, The January Children are the generation born in Sudan under British occupation, where children were assigned birth years by height, all given the birth date January 1. What follows is a deeply personal collection of poems that describe the experience of navigating the postcolonial world as a stranger in one's own land.
