“Andre Bagoo is a fearless, brilliant mind.” – Ilya Kaminsky
Our Autumn issue – Wasafiri 123 – is available to preorder now!
Includes interviews with @abagoo.bsky.social and Christina Sharpe, our 2024 Essay Prize winners, and a Tibetan writers and artists showcase, alongside our usual mix of fiction, poetry, reviews, and more.
I finally got my hands on my contributor’s copy of NATURE MATTERS, edited by Mona Arshi and Karen McCarthy Woolf.
My poem takes us to a small Ti Marie or touch-me-not plant growing at the centre of the Queen’s Park Savannah, just before it shuts to the touch.
I have three new poems (‘Epithalamium’ ‘Anti-Epithalamium’ and ‘Prothalamion’) published over at COMP: an interdisciplinary journal. Thank you to the brilliant editor, Jaydn DeWald. Just in time for Pride. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️✨
