THE RECLUSE II

A compendium of poems written from October- November 2014. Hard as reality has been each piece navigates the terrain of experience bringing out the best in me at every moment. This collection continues the tale telling attempt of my poetic journey discussing the themes of love loss hope search for and way to worship God the African and our place in the world the right of the individual at self-actualization. Partly a few of the poems delved into the sociopolitical cum economic terrain of my country of origin (Nigeria) and the purposed outcome of the March 2015 general elections the much debated issue of corruption and other vile of the time. This collection was spurred by personal experience as well as others experience. The collection was written in simple dictum to aid in conveying the inherent message in each piece.
