Description
Exodus is a powerful collection of poetry that explores the complexities of migration and displacement. Using the sea as a source of language and metaphor, 'Gbenga Adeoba delves into themes of memory, transition, and the intersections between history and imagination. With great tenderness and power, Adeoba's poetry searches for meaning in sharply constructed images, creating scenes of making and unmaking while investigating experiences of exile and displacement across time and place. This winning collection is a testament to the poet's ability to craft scenes that are both deeply personal and universally relatable.
