In our capacity as counsel to the Oladosu brothers, we have written @BeesPoems a Cease-and-Desist Letter likewise demanding apology and removal of defamatory publications against them within 48 hours. Although she had removed some videos, many videos are still on her Facebok page

Before diagnosis, my family had concluded my bleeding disorder was an earthly affliction.

“Sugarcane Ritual for A Bleeding Disorder”, published in @ANMLY_LIT Issue #41, is a revisit to my childhood shaped by a life-long condition, & the fragile hope placed in spiritual cures.

We are very proud of our own, @PHO757, whose debut collection, “The Volume of Constant Screams”, is now out in the world. This book will leave you in awe, to reflect on a war fought 58years ago with its remnants still on our palms.

We're exceedingly happy this found a beautiful home.
Congratulations, Olumide. 🎉

[Olumide Manuel Ayodele @Olu_MideManuel]

So the backstory is— I wrote this years ago during a challenge round with @The_NGPs and then tossed it aside. Then one of the collective mentioned it in passing earlier this year, and I was surprised he remembers it. I'm so grateful to @Efikomag for giving it a home. Read & share

[Driftwood Press @driftwoodpress]

Don't sit on that novella or poetry collection — send it to Driftwood Press instead! Use the link in our bio for details. #callforsubmissions

[Hassan A. Usman ✨ @hassanthemodel]

Excited to share my Poems, “September, or Self-Portrait with Hemophilia” & “From Scratch”, published a few months ago on @ElectricLit. These poems are close to my heart & I hope they touch you deeply.
