Appraisals of some poems in this volume
Nightmares in
Paradise “A paradise is a paradise,
a perfect place. Perfection needs no other
qualification
because it is the
ideal, the unattainable.
If
this paradise
is ‘giant,’ then it
has a flaw and ceases to be paradise.”
---Dr. Patrick
Oloko,
English Department,
University of Lagos.
Unreliable paradise “When poets turn
historians,
they knit
epics...like this wonderful one, and raise
old wounds asking
for justice that has never been given
in the history of
mankind.”
---Kola Bola,
Poet/Sub-Editor,
Newswatch Newspaper, Lagos, Nigeria.

good... I really love
the energy
in the title...”

Valentine’s
prophecies “I am in love with this poem.”
---Funmilayo
Jolaoso,
Surulere, Lagos.
Valentine’s
prophecies “I love this poem, generally,
especially for the
conflation of love emotions with
aspects of language
- adjectives, nouns, adverbs –
which are the usual
messengers between persons
entangled in the
delicate matters of love.
Here, these
otherwise indifferent parts of speech
become infused with
the business of love on a
Valentine's Day. In
other words, they become the
ultimate victims or
beneficiaries in this business
between/among human
hearts. In this respect,
I consider this
poem to hold great promise for its
technique of
reinvigorating what should be banal
with this shifting
of the 'battle'/burden to parts of speech.”
---Dr. Joseph
Ushie,
Department of English,
University of Calabar,
Cross River State,
Nigeria.

From your sexy guy “So it is true that love knows
no bound,
now l know...
thumbs for this nice effort...”
---Kola Bola,
Poet/Sub-Editor,

moon are blushing because
of this masterpiece
