these words are meant to be felt
Writer — Poet — Host of Hearts & Ink
Hi there! I'm Seun Caleb, Omo ìfẹ́ a writer, poet, and creative based between Lagos, Nigeria and Glasgow, Scotland.
My work explores identity, memory, migration, and the tender corners of human experience. I write essays, poetry, and long-form pieces that live on Medium and Substack.
I also host Hearts & Ink — an intimate poetry reading session that brings together writers, listeners, and lovers of the spoken word in both Glasgow and Lagos. It's a space for vulnerability, beauty, and connection through language.
If you'd like to read my work, visit me on Medium or Substack.
You can also find me on X (Twitter) or Instagram.
