I’ve dreamed of the Evaristo Prize since I was 18, when it was still the “Brunel Prize”. To say this is “a dream come true” would be nothing short of the truth. I am thankful to those who came before me; to those who paved the way for us all. Thank you. I am grateful. ❤️✨

I am in Vermont, and it is beautiful. I am just coming out to post this brilliant poem by Adedayo, which was just published in Guernica and will also appear in his forthcoming collection, The Years of Blood. If you haven't already done so, please consider preordering. Okay, bye.
