All of Us are Birds and Some of Us Have Broken Wings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781733181617)

2019 KINGDOMS IN THE WILD POETRY PRIZE WINNER: OJO TAIYE is a young Nigerian who uses poetry as a handy tool to hide his frustration with the society. In the winning chapbook All of Us Are Birds & Some of Us Have Broken Wings Ojo Taiye utilizes the elegy in the inquisition of identity, heritage, mental health, language and memory. In Taiye's words: "I think it's an important act of resistance to grieve something you've never seen-to witness, record & recite a projection that we have not experienced. I do hope at some level, the reader can connect with the poems, or find things that resonate with them on a human level."-Ojo Taiye
