Description

Manorism by Yomi Sode is a powerful and moving exploration of contemporary masculinity, identity, and belonging. This debut collection delves into the complexities of being Black British, navigating cultural contexts, and the tensions between heritage and modernity. Through vivid verse, Sode examines the lives of Black British men and boys, propped up by societal expectations, yet hemmed in by restrictive norms. The book also probes the disparities in impunity afforded to white and Black individuals, as well as artists. Caravaggio's life serves as a thought-provoking lens through which to consider these themes. With its searing insight and poetic precision, Manorism sheds light on the intricacies of identity, belonging, and the human experience.
