O-Jeremiah Agbaakin is a PhD student in the Creative Writing Program in the Department of English at the University of Georgia, specializing in poetry. He sat down with WUGA last year to discuss the poet’s role in society.
The Nigeria-born artist recently won the John Lewis Writing Grant in Poetry from the Georgia Writers Association. Inspired by the late Civil Rights icon, the grant gives support to Black writers in Georgia.
Agbaakin joined WUGA’s Emma Auer once again to explore his changing views on poetry and to read his latest work.
