About the Author
Yusuf Àlàbí Balógun, going by the stage name ‘Àrẹ̀mọ Gemini’ is an experimental performance poet and art specialist, with a core focus on Yorùbá arts and culture. Recipient of the Horn of Afroclassical Merit Award for excellence in the propagation of arts and culture (2018), his art is guided by so many drives, one of which is to sell out O² Arena, London for Yorùbá oral arts.
Recognised as the First Runner-Up of the Grooming Talent Hunt 2020, his craft has received successful acceptance and validation from media houses within Nigeria and outside the shores, including BBC Yorùbá and The Folio Media (Nigerian exclusive affiliate to CNN). He is the author of a Yorùbá novel – Ṣẹ̀gílọlá Arómirẹ́ Ògìdán and he has so many works to his credits, including a collaboration with South African artiste – Willemien Rust (Beginnes & Eindes) and Nigerian musical artiste, Temmie Ovwasa (Space Fuji). His poem “Òkùnkùn” was recently translated to Slovenia by famed Slovene poet, Brane Mozetic and published in the Slovenian literary magazine – Poetikon; amongst other notable feats.
