Book Review by the Editor, Amara M. Ujumadu
A collection of one hundred Poems, LEDWAP provides and exciting, educative, and entertaining read for anyone. With a plethora of varying themes such as the turbulence of teenage years, self discovery, music, religion, friendship, faith, assertiveness, femininity, mental health and a host of others, Adeola Oke inspires, soothes, motivates and even fires up the reader as the occasion demands.
The poems are artfully written with such literary embellishments and poetic devices to spice an already splendid art. Some of these include vivid metaphors, litotes, anaphora, epizioxys, and unrestrictive free verse. The poet takes the reader on an adventurous jolly ride by mixing serious themes with hilarious ones. Navigating artfully through intense and mundane issues in such a way that the reader is presented with a poem about resilience and the next poem is about earplugs.
The pieces in this anthology are so relatable and easy to connect with. A personal favorite is "She". This poem has so much going on about femininity, self-confidence, resilience and will. It's totally something I relate to and find very nourishing. My favorite quote in this poem is the couplet: "Watch her/ Do a plié and never slip."
This anthology is recommended for all lovers of poetry, students, and generally young people who are in this journey of self discovery.
