Deaf Birds and Frozen Frames

Sodiq Alabi

Sodiq Alabi's latest collection, Deaf Birds and Frozen Frames is a collection of poems described by Saddiq Dzukogi, the award-winning poet and author of Your Crib, My Qibla, as "a work of relentless beauty and grace. Here, the music is eloquent and the language succinct. Nostalgia becomes its own space, a void pulling us all into an exploration-exciting yet often tedious-of new places and 'languages'."

Olajide Salawu, Editor OlongoAfrica says of the collection, "In this Alabi's new collection, we live in perpetual anxieties of imagined futures tethered to the diasporic plain and the perverted natal homeland. We dance to the chorus of despair, but there is also a buffering interlude restored in the rhythm of the speaking drum and committed love of family."
