If the poem does not start until you start to tell the truth, then a poets work is to be relentless in the search for that truth. Globe-trotting poet Titilope Sonuga has you dig into the bone, creating poems from a deeply personal place while striking a balance between maintaining the integrity of your truth and respecting your audience.
