Konya Shamsrumi Press is thrilled to announce the acquisition of two captivating new poetry collections: Ivory Night by Ismail Bala and Pickled Moments by Nasiba Babale. These works promise to enrich the African poetry landscape with their explorations of love, loss, desire, and the human condition.
Ivory Night delves into the intricate complexities of love, desire, and introspection. Through evocative imagery, Bala navigates the multifaceted nature of human relationships and emotions. Juxtaposing the beauty of nature with the intensity of intimate connections, the collection promises a rich exploration of human emotions.
Pickled Moments, a debut collection by Nasiba Babale, captures the essence of love, loss, and the human spirit against the backdrop of cultural and political turmoil. Myriad inspirations shape Babale’s verse, offering a deeply personal and evocative journey through memory, resilience, and the enduring hope for peace. The poet’s reflections on identity, belonging, and the search for peace create a tapestry of human experience that is both raw and hopeful.
