Celebrating #WorldPoetryDay, @ndukaotiono & @uche_peter_umez share news of the African release of poetry anthology Wreaths For A Wayfarer (@narrativelscape). The collection is edited by Otiono & Umezurike & published to honour the memory of writer, academic, & mentor, Pius Adesanmi. Link in our bio! Ft. extracts from the collection and info about an upcoming ACCUTE event.

We are eagerly awaiting the official English-language release of Véronique Tadjo's (@veroniquetadjo) In the Company of Men this Thursday 15th April by @hoperoadpublishing. Drawing on real accounts of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, this poignant, timely fable reflects on both the strength and the fragility of life and humanity’s place in the world. In a series of moving snapshots, Tadjo illustrates the terrible extent of the Ebola epidemic.

Make sure you catch up on the latest African literary and cultural news from March in our wrap! Link is in our bio to read 💫💫

Now on the blog, @uniofexeter students Isobella Norman, Leyla Mohammed and Leoni Fretwell talk Nostalgia (@jalada.africa), memory, and creative collaboration with journalist, essayist, filmmaker, and Managing Editor of Jalada Africa, Wanjeri Gakuru. Catch it via the link in our bio 🌟

Wise words for our #QuoteOfTheDay come from @nnediokorafor's Home, the sequel to Okorafor's Binti.

We have a double feature on the blog centring around Abdulrazak Gurnah's Afterlives (Bloomsbury 2020) in anticipation for the author's @africawritesuk Exeter Book Club event with Novoyu Rose Tshuma on March 30th. Judyannet Muchiri both reviews the novel and talks with Gurnah. You can catch the Q&A via the link in our bio, where you can then click through to the review.
