Biography
Oyelaran Fadipe writes in the space between two languages, often on the same page. The collections use facing-page layout so that neither version is a translation of the other so much as a companion to it.
He performs regularly and says the page versions and the spoken versions have slowly become different poems.
“I sent a collection with unusual spacing and expected a fight. Instead the typesetter asked which line was longest so the measure could be set from it. That one question told me the book was in the right hands.” Sample quote
