'I Don't Know Where We're Going But I'll Know it When We Get There' published in Isele Magazine

Isele Magazine republishes my essay, 'I Don't Know Where We're Going But I'll Know it When We Get There'

An excerpt:

Gaston Bachelard said that we should “trust poets” and I take this to mean that in times of global distress, we should listen to the ones who are always listening. I am not always listening but I am often borrowing, so today, I borrow small notes from the internet. These are Instagram captions I weave into snapshots from my busy-busy home during South Africa’s lockdown. It isn’t poetry, but it is my way of taking the wheel when you’re too tired for this leg of the journey. If I can’t do that, at the very least I can entertain the kids. Are we there yet? 

The essay, ‘I Don’t Know Where We’re Going But I Think We’ll Know it When We Get There’ was first published by Praxis Magazine in Through the Eye of a Needle: Art in the Time of Coronavirus Volume II, edited by Darlington Chibueze Anuonye. I’m so grateful to Ukamaka Olisakwe for publishing it again in Isele Literary Magazine.
