The absolutely delightful arts journal @bookartville (one of my faves) spotlighted the shenanigans at my debut, recently. Lovely memories, fantastic report!

If you are single;
1. You are either talking to someone
2. Stuck to an ex
3. You are chasing someone who is taken
4. You are a Dan Iska
5. You are ugly
6. You are broke
Which one are you?

During the @ProvidusBank World Poetry Day event in Lagos.
It was a great moment for me.
Those who witnessed my performance of some poems from Waistbeads and Rosaries (@masobebooks) during @ProvidusBank sponsored World Poetry Day event have been on my neck begging for copies.

Dear writers and friends, do review African Poetry Book. Review Nigerian Poetry Books. If we don't do it, who will? Pick a book and review today. Just do it.
Isn't this beautiful?
Joining @masobebooks as an author is a dream realized.
And doing that together with my brother @Imamofpoets
And the poet of my heart @rasaq_malik

COVER REVEAL
In a wide range of thematically linked poems that move through the landscapes of Nigeria and the United States, we encounter the borderless natures of grief and joy, sound and silence, and the unending possibilities of language.

COVER REVEAL
The Inventory for Lost Things is a lyrical meditation on memory, grief, exile, and the ways we rebuild ourselves after loss. Through sixty poems that move between personal recollection and collective history, the collection explores how language becomes both wound..

COVER REVEAL
The Origin of Wounds exhumes fragments of historical accounts that bring us face-to-face with the brutality of national and global wars. Malik's pivotal poems address personal and global grief through the loss of homeland, and the continuous search for a sanctuary.

COVER REVEAL
Memory of Departure is a restless, luminous poetry collection that moves through love, desire, loss, and belief with raw intimacy. These poems are grounded in the body and the land, where harmattan dust, moonlight, rain, and skin all carry memory.
