Abigail-Tydale Bassey

Abigail-Tydale Bassey grew up in the suburbs of Uyo city, Nigeria, where she spent thirteen years eating grandma's mushroom soup before discovering that coconut and dates were such a sweet food, she'd always hide them in her wallet. She's been long listed for the African Writers Awards and a Creative Writing Club Laureate. Walking with God is her first poetry chapbook. Abigail works as a Research Analyst in the morning, spends many evenings laughing with her best friend, then writes later at night before going to sleep.
