Fifty-two poems in Yoruba and English, set on facing pages so that neither is subordinate to the other. The collection moves between a childhood in Ibadan and a working life in Houston, and is interested in what does not survive the crossing.

Typeset with full line integrity; the digital edition uses protected line breaks.

The facing pages matter

Setting them opposite rather than one after the other changes how you read both. A real design decision.
