Friends, family, and well-wishers of Michaela Moye
gathered on Friday 10 January at Che Bar in Abuja to witness the launch of
her debut book, Relieved, a collection of poems and short stories.
At one of the biggest book parties in the capital,
the author read a couple of pieces from her work, including the eponymous
story, Relieved. Poet, Ekene Atusiubah, also read a poem, Associations,
from the collection while comedienne, Chigurl, read Simpatico.
The collection features poems and stories about love, heartbreak and relationships, among other themes.
“Michaela Moye has a style all her own,” Toni Kan, poet and novelist, wrote in a blurb. “She evokes the very best of May Ellen Ezekiel, Funmi Iyanda and Lola Shoneyin. Her writings―whether poetry mimicking prose or prose evoking poetry―are a cocktail of memory, regret and nostalgia.”
Micheala Moye is a writer and editor who worked as a journalist for Next and Daily Times newspapers, and was a columnist for Leadership newspaper. She is a regular contributor to Metropole magazine.
Relieved was published in 2013 by Moye Media.
