yvonne fly onakeme etaghene. taurean mango-eating, Nigeria & syracuse, new york raised, part time vegetarian, hard core carnivore, b-girl-in-training, river-goddess-worshipping, raw corn on the cob eating, mac & cheese from scratch making, bottom of the pot licking, fierce fire breathing, fuschia-colored poem writing, no bra wearing, frohawk rockin, all night dancing, bright color lovin, never a lesbian, sometimes queer, always a dyke POET.
an explosive performer with a mouth full of dynamite and sugarcane, her work is a vibrant, vulnerable call to action to live out the lives we dreamed up when we were kids. a fiercely passionate Nigerian dyke, poet, dancer,
essayist, playwright, actress & chef, she uses her poetry to chisel a verbal sculpture of her soul while
addressing political issues. she has self-published three collections of poetry, released one CD and organized two independent, national poetry tours. she has melted microphones in over 25 u.s. cities.
...i taste like sugarcane, move like water, come from Naija, my kiss taste like forever.
