I'm glad to announce that my pushcart-nominated poem, "Permission To Talk About Joy & Other Soft Things," previously published by @StanchionZine has won the Stephen DiBiase Poetry Prize 2026. Thanks to the organizers, and congratulations to the shortlisted writers.

@Eneessi Congratulations! So happy for you, brother.

I have been sitting on this news for a while and it still feels surreal 🥹

tomorrow is world poetry day : tweeting into existence: someday, one day, I am going to write a poem for a TV show and that poem is going to win me a screen award as well as a literary award and earn me a lot of money. it is definitely going to happen. I believe, so it'll exist.

@Ibn_Yushau44 @voaliterature @thepoeticswans @AnikeBeloved__ @21stSeraph @ademindpoems @Agboola_Tariq_A @AFholarin @AishatYahkub Happy birthday, Ridwan.

Dear self, Happy Birthday. You are a miracle because no metaphor describes you better. Here's to another beautiful year of beauty. Here's to everything beautiful this world has to offer you. Cheers. Cheers. 🥂 I am another year closer to death!

Happy to share my newest publication with Adi Magazine. Particularly excited about sharing this poem coz of its form, which I invented 🥰😀🙌.

@OyedejiDamilol5 Congratulations!

I have waited so long to let you know. My chapbook, Blue Scapes, is forthcoming with Thirty West Publishing House. 😫😫🥹💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾🤗🤗 I'm so happy. I am still in shock. 🥹🥹

@wordsmithpraise @awpwriter Well done.

My first and a memorable AWP @awpwriter. Grateful to have been surrounded by a community of brilliant writers, both new and old. I had a wonderful time in Baltimore: staffed UNLV and Chestnut Review booths, bought books, hung out with lovely writers, and many more. #awp #awp2026

Honored to have a poem in The McNeese Review, a journal I love! Thanks to editor, Michael Robins, & poetry editor, Gwenyth Wheat, for giving “Copyist" such a kind home & for inviting me to speak about my process in crafting it (included in the replies)! Check it out, friends! 💙

@JoemarioU38615 Congratulations! We are issue mates in Skylight 47.

Hey guys, I have poems forthcoming with The Good Life Review and Skylight 47. Also serving as a judge for a poetry contest hosted by the 360 Kreative Hub. I guess Febuary didn't just want to waltz by.

@OyedejiDamilol5 Hi. Please check your DM.

I spilled coffee on my laptop. I am trying to write. I spilled coffee. Men keep raping women. My friend wants to buy a new phone. I need a new laptop. I'm reading poetry at a conference soon. I spilled coffee. I spilled coffee. I am spinning.

@hassanthemodel @akereview @akefestival I like the last line a lot.

“Delusional happiness is still happiness.” My poem in @akereview @akefestival
