O knihe

Alexander Olomo's first book of poetry evokes the exhilarating mental landscape of a youth. His poems traverse the elemental dimensions of human experience (night, day, rain, sunlight) seen through the prism of a particular consciousness in a particular place (Ibadan, Nigeria). This sharply observed sense of locality is combined with occasional references to the world of Greco-Roman antiquity that Olomo studied as an undergraduate. - Luke Roman, Professor, Department of Classics, Memorial University, Canada. The teaser in "Nature is in Everything" is precisely locked in the magic of that near semiotic overload captured in language, imagery and title. - Sola Olorunyomi, Professor of Comparative Literature and Cultural Studies, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria. Infusing both individual and collective experiences into the poems, the poet acknowledges who we are as humans, while also inviting us to see the astonishing world of rain, sun, moon, birds, mountains, hills, and others. This is a poet to watch out for, as this book is an important announcement of his arrival. - Rasaq Malik Gbolahan, Author, "No Home in This Land" and "The Other Names of Grief".
