It's been a while.
We've been away from the noise, but not from the work. Behind the scenes, we've been curating, editing, and putting together something we're really proud of.

Nantygreens Vol. 1: 3 Poems and Some Stories is here — our first anthology collecting the voices that made this platform what it is. Since 2011, hundreds of writers have trusted us with their work. This volume celebrates them.
Thank you for staying with us, even in the silence.

Thank you for still believing in emerging African voices.

Pooling beneath the second creator—

She, with her red-hearted berry,

A silent oracle of forbidden fruits."

The Second Creator    Every man nurses his fear, A hymn whispered in shadowed cathedrals of the heart. Freedom drips like molten gold, never

"It all happened on a starry night under the moonlight. The Alarede festival was taking place at the village square in Oyo town where all the young maidens came to show their dancing skills by wiggling protuberant backsides."

"there are days you wander in between trunks of trees in the darkest forest imbedded in your veins. you wished plucking your two lens out of their sockets; wanting not to behold avid zombies climbing the stoops of your spine."
