Africa2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported12m ago
Kehinde has released a new book of poetry titled "Judge Me On a Blank Page" in Nigeria, which breaks away from traditional poetic norms. The work places less emphasis on ornamental structure, challenging readers who seek conventional formatting.
Beyond its unconventional form, the book addresses broader themes of identity and human perception. Drawing from the author's experiences of carrying three passports across three countries, the poetry advocates for seeing individuals for who they are, free from preconceived prejudices shaped by complex cultural and geographic contexts.
