I loved both of these texts. I read @toluini's in a single mad-dash sitting and I read @adamyael's over weeks, one poem at a time, first thing in the morning, in the same meditative way he wrote them. Wonderful experiences both.

Yes, there's more. In fact, I think @UcheUmezurike should consider changing his middle name to "Prolific."

In THERE'S MORE, Uchechukwu Peter Umezurike interrogates the possibility and necessity of holding multiple homes. It’s a crucial topic in this time of vastly increased displacement and immigration. bit.ly/3iRR56k @UcheUmezurike @blackauthors #love #home
