Disruption: New Short Fiction from Africa
These stories by new and emerging writers from the continent of Africa all tackle the theme of 'Disruption' in ingenious ways and represent a range of genres, from Innocent Ilo's imaginative exploration of a post-apocalyptic African village, to Victor Forna's stylistic take on the destruction of humanity. Masiyaleti Mbewe's brutal tale of Apartheid and climate change through the eyes of a time-traveling cyborg sits alongside Genna Gardini's diverting allegory of companionship and an escaped exotic pet. The 2021 anthology features stories from across the continent, from Libya to Sierra Leone to Zambia to South Africa, and also includes a translated story, 'Armando's Virtuous Crime' by Najwa Bin Shatwan, translated from Arabic into English by Sawad Hussain.
Soro Soke
Africa's population under 35 now equals almost a billion people. Young Nigerians speak about what it means to be young in an ageing world.
Heartbeat
Heartbeat is a reflection of the learnings that Oyindamola had, at her first encounter of poetry. It is a classical, yet simple collection that highlights, love, war, romance, experience and spirituality from an ingenuous perspective. This ensemble, an intriguing debut, gives experession to the author’s genuine feelings of pain, joy, nostalgia and depression. This collection is also the invention of the author’s vulnerability to topics that concern her gender. She gives hints of feminism but in an inconspicuous way by writing poems about rape, and women’s strength in wearying events like war and in love. Her second collection to be published in August, 2017 unleashes this feminism beyond measure. It is an incomparable showcase of her metamorphosis as woman as well as her reality as a young black woman in America.
Lives of Great Men

To Bee a Honey
The constituents of Oyindamola's reality as a young black female immigrant, have caused an explosion of feminist awakening in Oyin's heart and her readers are the lucky spectators who get to watch her bedazzle us with To Bee a Honey: a scintillating work of art. Throughout the work, we see influences of other powerful women of color such as Warsan Shire, Rupi Kaur, and Maya Angelou, albeit not with the author's intention. We encounter a poet who does not only revel in the new-found confidence of her scribbling but also in the lush glow of her womanhood. What immediately strikes one upon perusing this work is its aesthetic beauty. This is not limited to the arresting visual images drawn up on...
