Eyinimofe came to poetry through grief — losing her mother and one of her closest friends just four months apart. What began as letters to her mother, a way to keep their relationship alive, quickly grew into a body of nearly 300 poems.

Her poetry explores loss, faith, societal expectations, and the quiet & hard questions grief unearths. She writes with such unflinching honesty, readers feel less alone.

She is currently working on her debut collection, a memoir-style gathering of poems that honours grief and the love it carries. Sign up at writings.eyinimofe.com to be notified when it’s available.
