NEW BOOKS ALERT – The Twin Publication.

Published by ArtingArena on

Foreword

By Oyin Bimbo, Founder & Head Editor, ArtingArena

When we announced the ArtingArena Poetry Chapbook Contest in 2023, it was more than a call for poems — it was a call to voices. Voices that could echo across boundaries, tell our stories, and remind the world that African art still breathes, boldly and beautifully.

The journey since then has been far from simple. Through 2024, we went quiet — not gone, but growing in silence. Behind the pause was reflection, rebuilding, and a deeper commitment to the purpose that started it all: to create a space where African creativity stands without apology.

And now, we return with renewed energy, proud to present the fruits of that vision — two remarkable chapbooks born from that very contest:
Beyond Blood and Flesh by Stephen Oladayo Oladokun, and
Portraits of Broken Metaphors by Abubakar Auwal.

Each work stands as proof that great art waits for no perfect moment; it finds light even after silence. These collections capture resilience, memory, and emotion — the true heartbeat of contemporary African poetry.

As ArtingArena steps forward once again, these books mark not just a publication milestone, but a promise: that our mission continues — to bring African art, literature, and performance to the world.

Welcome back to the Arena. The art lives on.

…this collection is a challenge to the reader, demanding empathy, introspection, and a willingness to confront the often-uncomfortable truths of our shared human experience. It is a testament to the power of poetry as a language of hope, resilience, and the enduring search for home, even amidst the most profound adversity.
 
It is a book that will stay with you long after the final page is turned. So, don’t stop turning…

…this chapbook is a testament to the power of poetry to illuminate the human condition in all its complexity and contradiction.  It’s a journey into the depths of the self, a journey that demands attention, reflection, and ultimately, a renewed appreciation for the profound beauty and enduring strength of the human heart. 
Prepare to be moved, challenged, and ultimately, profoundly touched by the raw, unflinching honesty of ‘An Idly Beyond Flesh and Blood.’

Du profitierst von einem Willkommensbonus von 100% bis zu 100 € sowie 50 Freispielen. Findest du Echtgeld Casino Spiele spannend, möchtest aber erst neue Strategien testen oder ohne Risiko spielen? In einem Online Casino mit Echtgeld spielen die meisten Deutschen mit gerade einmal 20 € pro Sitzung. Bitte spiele verantwortungsvoll, da Glücksspiel süchtig machen kann und versichere dich, dass die Online Casinos deiner Wahl sicher und lizenzierte Anbieter sind. In Deutschland sind Glücksspielgewinne in der Regel steuerfrei, solange sie von lizenzierten Anbietern stammen.
Live-Casino, Tischspiele wie Blackjack und Online Roulette sowie Jackpot-Slots sind entsprechend der deutschen Lizenzierung verboten. Solche Lizenz-Behörden tragen dafür Sorge, dass die Echtgeld Casino Anbieter online über faire Gewinnchancen und sichere Ein- beziehungsweise Auszahlungs-Modalitäten verfügen. Ein unbedingt wichtiger Faktor ist auf jeden Fall die Lizenz, denn legal sind Echtgeld Online Casinos nur dann, wenn sie eine gültige Lizenz für Glücksspiel vorweisen können. Worauf kommt es an bei Echtgeld Casino Spielen, sodass das Risiko einzig und allein in den Gegebenheiten des Glücksspiels verbleibt?

bester online casino bonus · 17/12/2025 at 2:37 pm

Die meisten Online Casino Bonusse werden VIP-Club-Mitgliedern angeboten, wenn sie einen bestimmten Meilenstein oder ein neues VIP-Level erreichen. Dabei werden Spiele oft nicht eingeschränkt oder Sie dürfen nur Slots oder Tischspiele spielen. Sie müssen wahrscheinlich eine Teilnahmegebühr bezahlen, aber das Schöne an diesen Turnieren ist, dass sie große Preispools bieten und nur ein bisschen Glück erforderlich ist, um zu gewinnen.
Nur die besten Bonusse ohne Einzahlung erhalten auch hohe Sternebewertungen. Der 100%ige Einzahlungsbonus des One Casinos unterliegt nur 35-fachen Wettanforderungen. Dieser Bonusbetrag von 10 Euro muss 45 Mal umgesetzt werden, bevor er in Echtgeld umgewandelt und ausgezahlt werden kann. Dieses Bonusgeld kannst du dann dazu nutzen, um verschiedene Spiele im Casino auszuprobieren. Es gibt auch Spiele, die beim Spiel mit Bonusgeld verboten sind.
