"Epum’s debut will be one of the most important books published this year. Epum examines intersectional identities of being Black, disabled, female, and a first generation Nigerian American through an inventive and brilliant book structured as a search for [safety]."

Review: Merging memoir, poetry, and criticism, this radical literary revue traces a first-generation Nigerian American’s search for home.

I don’t cover a lot of memoirs, but when I do, I want it to push and challenge me. This promises to push what a memoir does in a new direction.
