Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hear the poet as, in a succinct moment of self-adulation, he writes: “My brain thinks faster than my words can convey. My mind works magic. Can I live this life forever?” Divided into three sections, Never Play Games with the Devil showcases a poet at the height of his powers, exploring several themes in different voices. In the first section, the poet is the charismatic preacher encouraging people to Hustle, Find their Feet and Grow. He writes about the lot of Broken Men crashing under the weight of expectations; he talks about boys like Eddie and Edmund, bullied for the shape of their heads. He humorously addresses the consequence of choices in the title poem, 'Never Play Games with the Devil.' The second section secures him a seat as an activist. We see the poet tackle, in verse, despotic and undemocratic governments, marauding killer herdsmen, and the pastor who lost his voice. The poet mourns the hapless souls in the crossfire between society’s rot and the State’s insouciance. The final poems explore the basis of human relationships. The poems here deal with love, commitment, and trust. Never Play Games with the Devil is a didactic collection of poems on pertinent life issues. These poems draw their appeal from the poet’s ability to sustain a figment of thought through the entire span of each poem.

Download or read book Born in Lockdown written by Tolu' A. Akinyemi and published by The Roaring Lion Newcastle LTD. This book was released on 2021-09-08 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poets have always had the capability to travel inward – to create something out of the chaos of their inner world. It is why poetry is said to be cathartic, for through it, the poet eases himself of his burdens. But beyond that, poetry is also a tool for reflection. Oh, poetry cannot be stuffed into a single purpose for it is the expression of human emotions in line and verse, in styles and forms, rhymes and metres. And so, it acts has a way for the poet to transmit what he sees, thinks and feels in his inner world, those abstractions, into something tangible. Stuck at home in the loud silence inflicted by a lockdown, where does the poet turn to? What does he turn to? His inner world? Tolu’ Akinyemi’s Born in Lockdown is a collection of poetry birthed in such a traverse. The poems explore the pandemic and lockdown, and the myriad feelings, effects and reactions it birthed. The collection begins with a declaration of the poet’s utter despair: There is a pandemic in my head, raging like boiling water. There is a war in my mind, tugging at the deepest part of my soul. There is a thunderstorm in my heart, wreaking havoc like it is doomsday. At each flip of the page, you come across poems that are either personal or reflective, or poems that are querying in tone. On how the pandemic disrupts intimacy, Tolu’ wrote: Your love in my heart was innocent and untainted until COVID crept in and the veil of deceit was lifted. What’s appealing about this collection is the simplicity of Tolu’s style and the softness of his metaphors. His similes and imagery are like the vivid strokes of an artist on canvas; they’re not ambiguous. You read lines like: The silence in this house is eating me up like termites ravaging wood. This is poetry – minimalist, yet pronounced in what the poet was able to use simple words to achieve. In this collection, Tolu’ has proven himself a master of language, using words to weave moods and emotions. You oscillate between the heaviness of loneliness to the grief of a wrecked relationship to the hope of vaccines that will save the world. This collection promises you a titillating experience.
