Fuck you, Vauhini Vara.
Fuck you, @pangram. You tried to ruin a writer’s career.
Africa is not your dusting powder.
Congratulations, Anderson!
This is the evidence that God can be trusted. All the years have culminated into this victory. A testament that one can trampled over principalities, over powers, and for that, I am grateful.

I won it!!!
I am the winner of the Bash Amuneni Prize for Performance Poetry 2025/2026. My poem “Post Apocalypse” was the only way I could immortalize hope last year.
Grateful for the privilege of recognition.

I am glad to have shared space with other brilliant writers on the Homelands Panel at the 2026 Las Vegas Book Festival, speaking on indigeneity, belonging, and the many ways we carry home with us and into our work.

a teacupful of longing | @SAOLAW999
each morning will remember me by my music/ by the sound of my inartistic breakings./ here i am again, soiled next to the old cypress/ in the garden of God, fears—plucked/ from the dark wine of uncertainty.
Read full poem on the website.

boneweather | @SAOLAW999
there’s darkness in everything, which is how the light/ seeps in every room.(—)/ death has these mysterious methods of making me wonder/ about living(—)/ yet, something about life drums desperation beneath my bones.

a teacupful of longing | @SAOLAW999
i have wandered the scenic corridors of wind/ to bridge my griefs to reach the other version of my life./ to wait on miracles, the teacupful of longing/ spilled endlessly by the moon’s darkened mirror.

"i saw memories, the intercepted coastlines, spilling into longings
into passions. i saw: how lonely a hero could be on a lonelier journey
how unready they’re to let go of the dreams & hunger for unity"
