STARS ON MOON LANE

🗓️ Date: February 27

🕥 Time: 7 - 9 P.M

Leave the kids behind and join us with Dami Ajayi for the first event in our ‘Stars on Moon Lane’ series. Dami Ajayi will lead the discussion on his award-winning work, Clinical Blues, in this relaxed and informal gathering.

Clinical Blues is Ajayi's debut collection of poems, a moveable feast of ideas, recollections, aspirations and apparitions of desire in the collective but submerged consciousness of the new Africa.

Dami Ajayi, on the basis of this collection follows in a great tradition of medical doctors who were writers, and is also able to catch the inflections of Anglo-American modernisms – his poems resonate with Eliot’s arch wit and startling images and phrasing. At times lyrical, at times satirical, this is poetry of vision, humanity, and genuine literary value.
