Bio and Contact
After years of wandering, Deji has returned.
He attended the MA in Creative Writing at the University of Cape Town, where he was taught by South African writers André Brink, Mike Nicol, Andre Wiesner, and Henrietta Rose-Innes.
His work has been published in The London Magazine, The Space, Dialogue, Men’s Health, Triplopia, Litnet, OneShotZine (forthcoming), The African Journal of Conflict Resolution (forthcoming) and international law journals.
When not writing, Deji plays capoeira and works as an attorney. He loves human rights and intellectual property and conflict resolution and buttered bran muffins and does not feel such things are incompatible.
His time is divided between Brooklyn and the small farm where he grew up in New Jersey.
Deji writes because he has to.
