Siri is an unserious yet sensitive person: witty, authentic, and the type to turn almost everything into a joke. Ironically, that is how poetry found her. Not through discipline or divine revelation, but through her love for theatre and music. Writing was just one of those things she tried because it amused her. Like many of life’s best gifts, it came disguised as play.
Edesiri means a good day, and Siri believes every encounter—with herself, another person, or a poem—holds the possibility of becoming one. Although her pieces often explore intense subjects, they are not written to drown the audience in depth or demand interpretation.
They are invitations to linger, laugh, question, and see familiar things with new eyes.
In the end, someone walks away saying, “Eziokwu.”
