Between My Folds by Anastesia Orahii

Orahii reminds us of the occupation of love, especially when it makes its tent in our hearts, in our life, taking up every real estate in our body. There’s that teenage flair for the romantic here, of love undying, unyielding too, sometimes, and all its uncanny ways. The moon, once more, is invoked too: under its spell we fall in and out of love. This is a gazelle to steal poetic lines of love from.  

Anastesia Orahii is a writer, poet, and filmmaker who resides in Abuja. She has a bachelor’s in English Literature from the University of Abuja. She is a performance poet, and the curator of The Poetry Hangout—an intimate event for poets, musicians, and art enthusiasts, to share their works in a relaxed and judgment-free environment. Her goal is to create works that resonate with people, and her biggest dream is to make films that create change.
