Perhaps, Bala has not set out with such contemplation in this collection as the poems herein are the dialogue of two lovers we are conscripted into attending. But more happens.

Moments. Fleeting. Art captures them, or some part of their essence, in a specific form. Poetry gives us an expression that beautifies this capture through various devices and renditions that, if done well, leave us with something to hold on to.

A big shoutout to all the scheduled poets: Word Abba, Pristine, Muna, JAYPEE, Michael Imossan, Loveth Liberty, Diligent Artist, MJAAY, Mayim M13, Baaji Akura, and Bella Ogwuche.

Tigray Coffee x Rovingheights is delighted to announce our partnership with Orange Poetry LTD to host the first Orange Poetry Live Show.

The project includes an all-expense paid five-day workshop to be co-facilitated by another NLNG Nigeria Prize-winning author, Chika Unigwe, in Abuja from 24 to 28 June 2024 in Abuja and participants will receive expert guidance in writing a short story suitable for publication in an anthology of new writing during this period.
