This is poetry for now: written entirely on a phone, and unflinchingly reflecting the reality of our increasingly polarised world. From racism to the climate catastrophe, border politics to toxic masculinity, Inua Ellams – poet, performer and writer of the National Theatre’s sell out Barber Shop Chronicles – has written a collection that is as electrifying as it is powerful.
Inua Ellams was born in Nigeria in 1984 and is a performer, playwriter, graphic artist, designer and poet. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, and the author of books including The Half-God of Rainfall, an epic story told in verse.
This talk was recorded at the online 5x15 event on 5th October 2020.
