I am Solomon Joseph Umoh.
An emerging writer working across poetry, fiction, and African literary commentary.

I explore African stories, memory, and the quiet ways we carry identity through loss and language.

Still becoming. Still writing.

@MikeWalker_CLE I began submitting this year also and the rejection are so discouraging. I talked to some published authors and they told me welcome it as part of the writing process.
I believe my works will find a home someday

@RuthSummie Purple Hibiscus. It's actually the only one i've read here, but it's a brilliant masterpiece

[Solomon Joseph Umoh @JosephUmoh_]

@RuthSummie I've read Half of a Yellow Sun.
It is one of those books that makes love Adichie even more while reflecting on Nigerian's past.

It's simply a five star masterpiece.

@RuthSummie My review on Chimamanda Adichie's Dream Count.
What do you think?

[Solomon Joseph Umoh @JosephUmoh_]

Starting a new read today!

Diving into Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment for the first time.
This is my first time trying Dostoevsky though I've known his influence for years. Excited to explore this classic.

Will share my thoughts when I finish.

@poorbjorn I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee for the fifth time.
It is one of the books I keep going back to.

@AuthorGFAllen Legends know that the smell of books, especially the old ones hallucinates readers.
I'm addicted to physical books.

[Solomon Joseph Umoh @JosephUmoh_]

@circaphyteuma It's highly recommended

[Solomon Joseph Umoh @JosephUmoh_]

@TweetsbyOche Achebe became one if my heroes after reading Things Fall Apart.
Purple Hibiscus is also a compelling masterpiece.

@KnowledgeArchiv The smell of books is what makes PDF unattractive to me. The smell of old books feels classic and gothic.

@her_eloquence I enjoyed Animal Farm. Growing up with little understanding of Allegory, I read it on the surface. When I got matured enough, I reread the book and my eyes were open to many things I had missed.

As an emerging writer, stories like this remind me why I read and write.

Books don’t just inform—they transform.

[Solomon Joseph Umoh @JosephUmoh_]

@goodreads Half of a Yellow Sun. Reading that book made me love Chimamanda and compelled me into exploring all of her novels.
Half of a Yellow Sun remains one of the greatest books I have read. I also give books like God of Small Things, Things Fall Apart and Wuthering Height five 🌟.

@debbee_xo As an aspiring author, I love hearing the word "debut" - it builds some kind of hope.
