An Epiphany of Roses by Erinola Daranijo

As the title of Daranijo’s gazelle suggests, the epiphany of roses is a journey through vulnerabilities and its limits. The language is conscious and pulses with sensitivity. The poet seeks escape here; he also seeks to be heard and to give voice to the suppressed.

Erinola Daranijo is based in Ibadan, Nigeria. He explores themes of Nigerian culture, love, loss, and grief. His works have been published Brittle Paper, The Hooghly Review, Kalahari Review, Auroras&Blossoms Magazine, amongst others. He is on Twitter @Layworks
