Burnt men

"In a poetic landscape dominated by what reads so often like the same old language focusing on the sad tired themes, there emerges a voice of courage and passion, wisdom and strength, power and tranquility. A voice that is utterly unique and surprising, and at the same time, familiar and welcoming. This is poetry in which we are welcomed, in which we feel accepted, and although the ideas are often challenging and sometimes heartbreaking, what holds this collection together, and what ultimately embraces the reader, is the profound sense of humanity ascending from the pages. Oluwasegun Romeo Oriogun’s chapbook Burnt Men refuses to acknowledge the evils of the world as anything more than necessary roadblocks along the way toward enlightenment, a way cleared by love and spirituality and powerful restraint."
