It's been such a delight to finally have this chapbook out in the world! I should tell you all holding this book in my hands has been no ordinary affair (pun intended lol). Thanks to everyone who has gotten a copy so far.
If you'd like to get a copy, you can order by filling out the link on my website, or by sending me a DM directly.
If you're interested in the whole box set, you can order from the publisher @akashicbooks or anywhere books are sold.

In this instalment of the Book O’Clock x @africanpoetrybookfund interview series, Nigerian poets @timixsanni and @kayodeayobamii discuss rejection, African poetry and Sanni's debut chapbook, The Ordinary Affair Of Being Human.
“Modern African poetry, currently, is strongly represented by Nigeria, and there is a need for a wider representation that captures the full spectrum of African cultures, histories, and social realities”, Sanni argues.
