Arts for the 21st Century

Abayomi Marshall

Abayomi Marshall

Abayomi Marshall graduated from The St. Michael School in 2020. It was there that his love for reading and writing was nursed into a passion for literary arts. His debut into the literary landscape came at 13 years of age with the unpublished manuscript for his work ‘Nimbus 3 – A Casualty of Progress’. In spite of winning silver for this at NIFCA 2017, Abayomi has since stated that he would like to pretend this particular piece never happened. On his later writings, the young writer has stated that his intention is to inspire discomfort and attack order wherever it may lie. When asked to describe himself, Abayomi simply said “I just write sometimes lol,”, but he sat at his laptop and wrote a bio in third person anyway.

L Word

I will love you for life I will love you until my hair is grey and stringy And my teeth wobble in my gums I will love you until my knees crumble to dust under my own weight
