Poetry
Nomad
by Romeo Oriogun
Description
The Lambda Award-shortlisted poet’s debut, Sacrament of Bodies, was an epochal moment in Nigerian poetry, exploring masculinity and queerness. His follow-up widens his range, taking in exile, history, slavery, colonialism and postcolonialism, and contemporary politics of identity. Its narrative of seeing and surviving the world takes us through the West African countries of Benin Republic, Togo, Burkina Faso, Mali, Ghana, Senegal, and Côte d’Ivoire. Nomad won the 2022 Nigeria Prize for Literature.

Reviews
Romeo Oriogun's poetry explores alterity and displacement -- of location, of intimate physical spaces, of color / race, the remnant music of Caliban. He does this with a deft hand and an instinctive feel for the cadences of the lyric. - Niran Okewole
