Kehinde Badiru is considered a forerunner of digital poetry in Nigeria. He mediates poetry with digital illustration.
On being asked why he illustrates some of his poems, Kehinde says, “Every poem carries a story and design helps me tell it better. Poetry scares people and I don’t know why. I’m creating a Poetry that everyone can easily fall in love with.”
Here are some of his illustrated poems.
