Two stops short of Barking was written and produced by Gboyega Odubanjo during his time as Writer in Residence with Rabbits Road Institute Library whilst on tour to Barking & Dagenham.

Gboyega Odubanjo’s writing rubs together different parts of his world: London, Nigerian culture, religion, music, parties, histories of migration. This collection of poems and interviews defines a relationship to his home town of Dagenham in East London. The booklet features a sequence of poems alongside with interviews with John Akinde, Tife Kosuri and John Smith.
