About this deal

A remarkable, textured education in what it means to be made up of different parts, of light and dark places, and of worlds that we know, and that we don't . We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Snippets of Yoruba interweave with English, and a moving final sequence, part poetry, part play, charts the dramatic reconciliations surrounding a death in the family.

Why have black men decided to internalise and exhibit the fragility born of ignorance and privileged that the white man has without realising that because of their Blackness they are not perceived the same? Nigerian culture, rap music, being a father, and Black brotherhood are other themes, with recurring allusions to the work of Caravaggio.undoubtedly i’ll be reading more by yọ̀mí ṣódé in the future, his work is absolutely incredible, i could not look away, i read this in pretty much one go.

It also sits well alongside Caleb Azumah Nelson's Open Water which opens up a mode through which to articulate the emotional and vulnerable side of Black masculinity that is all too often eroded and erased by cultural stereotypes. asks what it means to find oneself between worlds- who is, and who isn’t, allowed ti be more than their origins?

brand new poetry from Yọ̀mí Ṣódé, examining the lives of black british men and boys; contemporary masculinity deepened by family, misinterpreted by media, and complicated by the riches, and the costs, of belonging and inheritance. Yomi, tells a story of the imminent death of his aunty “Big Mummy”; the secrets held within the black community when death by illness takes centre stage; his neglect of his cousin; of an ego bruised by the reality of said neglect; a story of being "there", but not present; a story of the grief of a Black “masculine” male; a story of coming undone in the eye of death. These cookies help provide information on metrics the number of visitors, bounce rate, traffic source, etc. In this profound and moving debut, Yomi Sode asks: what does it mean to find oneself between worlds – to ‘code-switch’, adapting one’s speech and manners to widely differing cultural contexts?

Manorism” walks us through the life of black men, an vivid exploration of race, racism, the complexities of inter-racial relationships, Black masculinity, and Black fatherhood.

ode takes us on a visceral journey, spilling secrets nakedly, not allowing us to look away from the hard truth . this is beautifully written but I couldn’t give it five stars because to me this needs to be spoken to you rather than just read by yourself. Yomi reveals this world sometimes through a style of writing which is close to a stream-of-consciousness. And that is the point- that there is so much to respond to; there are so many ways in which the world attacks.

But then the focus shifts and we are seeing Caravaggio and his dispute with a waiter in another time over a plate of artichokes. He takes us along as he comments, empathises, reflects, mourns and ponders black male adolescence and manhood. A collection of channeled Black urban anger poems offset by a more tender series mourning the death of a female relative. exploring the differences of impunity afforded to white and black peoples, and to white and black artists. I don't think I've ever read such a heartbreaking collection as this angry but deeply vulnerable and tender portrait of Black masculinity .It's moving, conpelling and 'pleasurable' in the sense that all good poetry is - it expresses something ineffable with beauty, poignancy, humour, and style.
