A HORSE NAMED HELLSTORM
No full textA HORSE NAMED HELLSTORM follows the speaker’s journey through experiencing life as a queer nonbinary young adult. This manuscript explores the questions of what it means to be nonbinary and what it means to fall in love with other queer people. By utilizing various forms and a lens of surrealism, the speaker answers these questions. This manuscript strives to honestly explore both the beautiful and the negative sides of the speakers’ queer sexuality and gender experiences through a world filled with primarily Southern nature as the speaker seeks solace from body dysphoria and queerphobia. The readers are taken through an arc of seeking transformation from one body to another to painful relationships with lovers to a lack of self-love until, finally, the speaker lands among peace-filled poems full of love for their friends, their mother, their lovers and themself. The speaker recognizes that despite the struggles of being queer in the South, the speaker still and will always belong there, in nature, loved and at home in heart and body
The Love Story of Our Mother and Other Stories
No full textThis collection reimagines Nigerian, African, and African diasporic histories through characters navigating loss, trauma, climate crisis, and authoritarianism. In the title story, a Nigerian AI law student in the U.S. begins a tense dialogue with their mother—an iron-willed matriarch—after news of her self-renaming and the unresolved death of their father resurface old wounds. In “Shadowless,” a peacekeeping captain adrift at sea reckons with grief and metaphysical dislocation after his orderly’s suicide. “Importunity” features Rhoda, a blind corn seller, who refuses viral charity, critiquing the spectacle of aid. In “The Abyssinian Ground Hornbill,” a son uncovers the truth behind his father’s failed ambitions and vanishes during a protest modeled on Nigeria’s EndSARS movement. Blending magical realism, metafiction, and political critique, these stories echo the work of Soyinka, Habila, and Adichie, while questioning the authority of narrative itself: how do we speak the unspeakable
