A Woman's Body Is A Country

by Dami Ajayi

Description

Dami Ajayi journeys into emotional borders that reveal the burdens of transitions, offering us lyrical poetry that reinvents perspectives. Here is the poetry of the quotidian, a philosophic and profound interrogation, and relationships, of words, of bodies and their burdens, of times and time. There is poetry here, and it breathes.
