The New Carthaginians by Nick Makoha
The New Carthaginians is a poetry collection that blends history, myth and memory through three linked figures—a poet, a Black Icarus and a resurrected Jean-Michel Basquiat—moving through an altered timeline. It meditates on flight and falling, art and identity, and uses collage-like lyric sequences to rework familiar symbols and imagine new myths that challenge the othering of Black life.
