300 Poems

Beschreibung

Three Hundred Poems, Komi Olafimihan's first book is a fluid and dynamic compilation of carefully crafted poetry. A mosaic of life experiences as an African in the diaspora, compressed as an evocative search for meaning, purpose and ultimately triumph over adversity. With a christian undertone these poems introduce readers to the defiant world of an artist carved from lucid dreams and memories. Three Hundred poems is an imaginative confluence of simplicity, beauty and heart.
