This is my world, capturing my future memories and turning them into present sayings.

Simple World: Anomaly is a hybrid literary collection spanning poetry, prose poetry, and lyrical essays from Nigerian diaspora writer Stephen Uyi. Rooted in Edo heritage and shaped by the American experience, these nineteen pieces move through five movements - from philosophical foundation through ancestral memory, love, darkness, and return.

Here, a sailor listens to waves for direction. A man lands at Dallas and feels his blackness sink in for the first time. Two lovers reach Saturn. A lion guards the secret of fear. A boy in the Sahara carries the weight of collective greed on his back. And through it all, a voice bends English to its own rules - Nigerian Pidgin erupting at moments of deepest truth, Edo spirituality threading through modern anxiety, hip-hop rhythms driving literary prose.

From the land of Ododo to the streets of Dallas, from Saturn to the Sahara - this is the anomaly.
