The October 2022 Issue of CỌ́N-SCÌÒ Magazine honours selfless individuals—pacesetters, as we labelled them—who have shown a sustained desire to create opportunities, communities, and supportive structures for everyone in the Nigerian literary space we share.
You will find amazing poems, essays, stories, photographs and art that bare, obscure, illuminate, conceal, appreciate and define the things that make us, or otherwise. We invite you to read, discuss, and share this gift. You may uncover layers of your identity that you never knew existed and, perhaps, become free: “When I discover who I am, I’ll be free” — Ralph Ellison.
In this issue, the contributors took us by the hand into streets and alleys and events that set their cities apart. From Brighton to Soka, Florence to Lagos, Paris to Abeokuta…this beautiful issue promises you great sounds, sights and scents.
Inspired by and/or created during the pandemic, the offerings speak for themselves as fragments of individual experiences creatively recorded and freely donated to our collective knowledge.
