Winner of the Sillerman First Book Prize for African Poetry,
‘Gbenga Adeoba’s collection Exodus focuses on forms of
migration due to the slave trade, war, natural disasters, and
economic opportunities.
             Â
Using the sea as a source of language and metaphor, Adeoba explores
themes of memory, transition, and the intersections between the
historic and the imagined. With great tenderness and power his
poetry of empathy searches for meaning in sharply constructed
images, creating scenes of making and unmaking while he
investigates experiences of exile and displacement across time and
place.
