S4 EP 5 | Zakariye Abdillahi
Episode 43
Tuesday, 18 November, 2025
Young artist, member of Roundhouse Poetry Collective and Hippodrome Origins, Zakariye Abdillahi talks with Yomi about being present and patient within poetry. His works often touch on the overlaps between masculinity, faith, and building a career in poetry at your own pace. His gentleness is evident in his soft voice on stage, used with intention. Within this episode, Zakayrie shares his poem ‘Chat to a Man’ and together they watch Polarbear’s (Stephen Camden) ‘Jessica’ - a popular poem that shows the vulnerable side of a young man falling in love and facing adult responsibilities.
