I am thrilled to announce that a new poem of mine is included in Issue II of 20.35 Africa: An Anthology of Contemporary Poetry.
In an editor’s note on the collection, published on Brittle Paper, Ebenezer Agu, Editor-in-Chief, writes that:
“Other poets withdraw from this heated space into meditation, whether religious or existential. In this regard, Megan Ross does not merely deify motherhood in her poem, she engages a re-presentation of what is central in divinity—creation, providence, and nurture—and injects it into motherhood. In one of her poems, God’s essence, orthodoxy, and mystery are dissolved into a new understanding in which they begin to function as human and primarily woman.”
This poem is close to my heart and I’m excited to see it published in 20.35 Africa, which has been said to “push institutional boundaries in the modern African poetry landscape”.
