"The Moon Can't Stop My Love" is a metaphysical poem written by the Nigeria author and scientist Nahna James during his teenage years. Published in 2022.

The 2023 publication Biyelum by Nahna James is a spooky novelette. The story takes place in the fictional village of Idemmili and chronicles the struggles of a woman by the name of Binyelum who endured twelve years of being barren while also facing hostility and accusations from both her inlaws and the people of the village. The legend also has an unhappy and happy ending, with her barrenness being cured by the aquatic goddess Idemmili and Binyelum evil in-laws dying horribly as a result of the hardships they had cursed her.

The moon can't stop my love. It's a common fallacy that love, both sacred and profane, is the only genuine theme of lyric poetry. The metaphysical poems in this collection, which deal with topics like love, coming out, self-care, and bisexuality, provide the strongest support for this claim. The author Nahna James' most incisive and deeply altering events bear an impact on all of the poems in this collection.

A critically acclaimed anthology of verse, Nigger For Life reflects the painful, later life discovery of Neal Hall, M.D., that in unspoken America, race is the one thing on which he is first judged, by which he is first measured, first against which his life and accomplishments are metered diminished value, dignity and equality. All of which have everything to do with accessing choice, opportunity, power and freedom in America. Nigger For Life reveals Dr. Hall's deep sense of betrayal combined with his fervent passion for life and equality for all. His words pierce through in candid, gut wrenching clarity. He bares his intelligence, wit and dreams.

The January Children depicts displacement and longing while also questioning accepted truths about geography, history, nationhood, and home. The poems mythologize family histories until they break open, using them to explore aspects of Sudan's history of colonial occupation, dictatorship, and diaspora. Several of the poems speak to the late Egyptian singer Abdelhalim Hafez, who addressed many of his songs to the asmarani--an Arabic term of endearment for a brown-skinned or dark-skinned person. Elhillo explores Arabness and Africanness and the tensions generated by a hyphenated identity in those two worlds.
