Last year, we did a feature on the ongoing beautiful work at Expound, and now, the magazine’s hotly anticipated 8th Issue, titled The Woman Issue, is out.
Guest-edited by the indomitable Unoma Azuah, The Woman Issue features the work of prominent writers like Sefi Attah, Zukiswa Wanner, and Jumoke Verissimo. The issue also features the writings of JT Lawrence, Halima Aliyu, Rafeeat Aliyu, Temitayo Olofinlua; non-fiction by Chalya Princess Miri-Gazhi, Chinaza Ezeoke, Michelle Ekunno, an interview with JT Lawrence by Jason Mykl Snyman; and poetry by Liyou Libsekal, Jumoke Verissimo, Bineh Ndefru, Sarah O’Neal, Saaro Umar, Opeyemi Rasaq-Oyadiran, Lind Grant-Oyeye, and Gaamangwe Mogami.
Expound is known for its trend-setting covers. The colorful, print-inspired design on this issue is an image by Uzoma Samuel Anyanwu designed by Bard Studio.
The issue stirred excitement during its Christmas release, with Safia Elhillo tweeting Sarah O’Neal‘s and Saro Umar‘s poems, calling them “gems,” and Ikhide Ikheloa tweeting: “I love the energy.”
We wish the boundless best for Expound, for Wale Owoade and his crew of warriors.
