Nature is in Everything

<p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>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.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>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.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>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.</span></p><p><br></p>
