31.01.2025 10:11 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0If you can read this, I wrote a book—”The Years of Blood”, and it chronicles the true coming-of-age narrative of human trafficking in Nigeria.
Well, human part trafficking is at an all-time high in Nigeria right now, and I guess it makes my book timely.
You'll pre-order, yeah?

Authors that have gone through this process, what advise do you have for debut poets like me?

Has anyone written a list of books coming out this year focusing exclusively on African literature?
Most of the lists flying around don't include enough African books.

These two poems by @adedayoagarau.bsky.social in Lolwe are fantastic!
A taste:
“a bird outside our house is singing of the way a flower opens
everything is Babylon until a wall, like my mother,
is crumbling”
