Set
fire on your fingers
Piss
On
the rules
They
set
Flirt
with his shadow
Stay
back
Fuck
it—
Blow
Him
Blow
Him Away
Be a
woman.

Jumoke Verissimo
“Jumoke Verissimo’s poetic voice is imbued with a consciousness of African history and an awareness of the socio-economic realities of modern Nigeria with its legacy of colonial plunder, its pathetic attempts at self-governance and the brutality of its military dictatorships. she balances the despair she sees all around her with a degree of stubborn hope and an enchanting lyricism which echoes the style of oral African poetry.” - Funso Aiyejina (Critic, Poet and Professor of Comparative Literature)
