A Woman’s Body is a Country

Description

Dami Ajayi’s second volume of poems, A Woman’s Body is a Country, interrogates the ramifications of affection.

A work of impressive artistry, these are poems of life turned inside out, where time cheats on writers, and the people and things at the brunt end of our oppressive pleasures come back to haunt us. Here is the poetry of the quotidian, a philosophic and profound interrogation of relationships, of words, of bodies and their burdens, of times and time.
