Mounting The Moon: Queer Nigerian Poems

by Unoma Azuah (Editor)

Overview

Mounting the Moon is the first ever anthology of LGBTQ-themed Nigerian poetry. It had to be broad in scope and generous in attitude. So the poems touch on a wide range of queer experience, explore a wide range of styles and forms, and inevitably vary in quality. Everyone who picks up this book will be struck by the immense energy and variety of contemporary Nigerian queer voices and will find work that touches their deepest feelings.

Editorial Reviews

Praise for Mounting the Moon

Finding joy, peace and acceptance in literature is always liberating. More so when literary works engender identities and sexualities that are as diverse as the letters that make up LGBTIQ. Each poem here is a tour de force, breathing joy, affirmation and sexual pleasure in each line.
Mounting the Moon is literary freedom.
