Wow. This started via the open mic circuit. Then features, courses, theatre, & more milestones. Right to this very point. It’s an absolute pleasure to announce, MANORISM. My debut collection, forthcoming in Spring 2022, published by @PenguinUKBooks. Fam. Real tears right now 💫

First read of the year. Open Water by Caleb Azumah Nelson. Such a beautiful and poetic debut. It gently pushes you along from the first page to the last.
