Poetry
Pulsating with the musicality of bebop, hip hop, and the blues, Ewuare Osayande’s poetry is a living testament to our times. His verses extol justice as love, echoing like psalms and proverbs for a world on fire. Revolutionary in its unwavering insistence on Black humanity amid ongoing assaults on Black life, Osayande’s poetry wields deftly timed metaphors that unmask systems of oppression while illuminating the resilient defiance of marginalized communities. At its core, his work evokes a liberating ethic— one that teaches us how to honor our shared humanity and build resilient community with the world.
“Ewuare Osayande’s poems are anthems for 21st Century Black folk, Harriet Tubman’s rifle behind our backs in the swamp. His work reminds us that the poet, not the politician, is our pilot of social consciousness. No injustice escapes his pen.”
