The Wickedest

Caleb Femi's new poetry collection, The Wickedest, vividly captures the energy and camaraderie of a legendary house party, weaving together diverse poetic forms, photographs, and text to explore the significance of nightlife within working-class communities. Set over the course of a single night, the collection celebrates moments of joy, community, and defiance, while also reflecting on the precariousness of nightlife venues. Femi’s cinematic style creates an immersive experience that oscillates between euphoria and poignancy, inviting readers to remember the collective freedom found on the dancefloor.
