Thank you @yomi_sode and @aniefiokekp for a beautiful conversation last night about Yomi’s debut collection MANORISM ❤️🔥 How do words move in the body and what is expected of a black poet? The question of accountability for black men, how do we break down the tropes? If we can’t talk about love among black men how can we even be comfortable to talk about anything else? Are black men ever afforded grace? Thank you everyone for coming and for your brilliant questions and huge thanks to @aniefiokekp for steering such an open and generous evening. If you missed it, this conversation will be available to listen again on our podcast series 🎧 watch this space! #pagesofhackneyevents #manorism #yomisode #blackpoetry #blackmasculinity #indiebookshop #justsupportsmall #bookshopevents2022
