Awa Arawa and Other Poetic Opuses Sunday Michael Oyeleke

This collection of poems encapsulates many thematic concerns such as, but not limited to, cultural decadence as found in the title poem "Awa Arawa", sociopolitical maladies, religious extremism, romance and some philosophical notions. Structured into 36 poetic opuses, this collection captures the contemporary Nigerian society using various devices from free verse, rhyme to regular and irregular rhythm to delineate its preoccupations. This is worthwhile for every lover of deep thoughts with defamiliarised language.
