Born in Lagos, Bayowa found his path to poetry at the University of Ibadan, Oyo. He brings a diasporic sensibility to his writing, which is an intricate meshing of narrative voices, dramatic tellings and hip hop rhythms. These poems interrogate belonging, race, identity and the diasporic struggle with the socio-economic system of debt.

They are poems written to enable people to survive, even under water.]]></description><link>https://yourlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S101C1472106</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://yourlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S101C1472106</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bayowa, Ayomide]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://yourlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1472106101</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781989496657/MC.GIF&amp;client=richmondpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
