Nottingham Poetry Festival: Yomi Sode in collaboration with Rewyld

Yomi Ṣode is a multi-award-winning Nigerian-British writer who recently performed at the BBC Proms 2025. His debut collection, Manorism, was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize.

For this performance Yomi will offer a rare exploration of the third section of Manorism, following the staggeringly emotional glimpse audiences witnessed at his last Nottingham performance. This work delves into the guilt, shame, and acts of remembrance that can surface in the wake of losing a loved one. Yomi will collaborate with the formidably talented DJ and producer Rewyld, who will bring the poetry to life through immersive soundscapes, music, and a touch of creative genius. Support comes from Mohan Mohammed .

Mohan Mohammed is a Birmingham-based poet. Their work often centres around being queer and British Indian, as well as estrangement and survival. Alongside anger and grief, they write about creating freedom and taking joy into your own hands.
