Thanks to Tiny Dancer (the poet formerly known as LOGIC), the Ann Arbor Poetry Slam will have a feature for February ! Is the dancer trying to get my job ? Who knows! I do know I appreciate our featured poet coming on such short notice. She comes highly recommended.
Tiya Kunaiyi
was born to a Mexican-American mother and Nigerian father, so from birth, she was in a world made of worlds. She was raised in Rivers State, Nigeria and spent her childhood exposed to the largely diverse culture that existed in the oil-rich state. It is that unique state of cultural complexity that has shaped the multi-ethnic voice of her work. Tiya has released two chap books and recently completed her first book, “Complicated Simplicity”, which will be released soon.
