作品情報
国境を越える旅は、失われた場所を探す旅でもある。
『Nomad』は、Romeo Oriogunの第2詩集として、ベナン、トーゴ、ブルキナファソ、マリ、ガーナ、セネガル、コートジボワールへと広がる旅路をたどります。故郷を離れた身体が抱える不安と自由、歴史の重みと生のしなやかさを、抑制の効いた言葉で描き出す作品です。
レビュー要約
-
移動、亡命、植民地の記憶をめぐる射程の広さと、砂漠や旅路のイメージを詩的に束ねる力が評価されている。個人的な経験が歴史の傷と結びつき、読後に長く残る余韻を生んでいる。

The Lambda Award-shortlisted poet’s debut, Sacrament of Bodies , was an epochal moment in Nigerian poetry, exploring masculinity and queerness. His follow-up widens his range, taking in exile, history, slavery, colonialism and postcolonialism, and contemporary politics of identity. Its narrative of seeing and surviving the world takes us through the West African countries of Benin Republic, Togo, Burkina Faso, Mali, Ghana, Senegal, and Côte d’Ivoire. Romeo Oriogun , a Nigerian poet and essayist, is the author of Sacrament of Bodies (University of Nebraska) and three chapbooks. He is the winner of the 2017 Brunel International African Poetry Prize. A finalist for the Lambda Prize for poetry and for The Future Awards African Prize for Literature, he has received fellowships and support from Ebedi International Writers Residency, Harvard University, Hutchins Center for African and African American Research, Oregon Institute for Creative Research, and the IIE- Artist Protection Fund. His poems have appeared in Poetry, Havard Review, American Poetry Review, Poetry London, The Poetry Review, Narrative Magazine, The Common , and others. A graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, his poems have been translated into several languages.
