poetry Bridestones
Leaked Footages
Miranda Pearson
Abu Bakr Sadiq
The early elegiac poems in Bridestones emerge from the borderlands between life and death, loss and renewal.

A Memoir in Prose Poems Adrie Kusserow
Winner of the Sillerman First Book Prize for African Poets Inspired by the relative chaos found in the origin of things, Oburumu’s poems explore how the beauty of chaos binds us to our ancestral roots. In his poems Oburumu identifies with anyone who is a single parent or is dealing with the lonely trauma of a broken home. His poems instill hopefulness in a world that has the means to throw many into poverty and agony. UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA PRESS Series: African Poetry Book March 2024 72pp 9781496237026 £14.99 PB
