Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black ≠ Inferior is a collection of poems divided into 2 parts. The first part is a collection of thematically linked poems exploring Blackness and the myriads of issues it attracts. The second part oscillates themes— talking about consent, a query of death, a celebration of love among others. In his usual stylistic, this collection deals with weighty matters like race and colourism with simple and clear language. In Black ≠ Inferior, we see Tolu’ Akinyemi reacting in response to the world, to issues that affect Black people. Here, we see a poet shedding off his burdens through his poems; hence, the beauty of this collection is in the issues it attempts to address. In this collection, Tolu’ wears a coat of many colours – he is a preacher, a prophet, a doctor and a teacher. We see Tolu’ the preacher in these lines: ‘I wish you can rise through the squalor of poverty and voices that watercolour you as under-represented. I wish you can emblaze your name in gold, and swim against every wave of hate.’ This is a collection of poems fit for the present narrative as any (Black) person who reads this collection should beam with confidence at the end. This is what the poet sets out to achieve with his oeuvre.

These wind gusts would give way for the calming sea.” Whether you’re in need of calm after the storm, therapy, healing, or to view everyday struggles from the lens of a veteran poet, this collection is for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poets have always had the capability to travel inward – to create something out of the chaos of their inner world. It is why poetry is said to be cathartic, for through it, the poet eases himself of his burdens. But beyond that, poetry is also a tool for reflection. Oh, poetry cannot be stuffed into a single purpose for it is the expression of human emotions in line and verse, in styles and forms, rhymes and metres. And so, it acts has a way for the poet to transmit what he sees, thinks and feels in his inner world, those abstractions, into something tangible. Stuck at home in the loud silence inflicted by a lockdown, where does the poet turn to? What does he turn to? His inner world? Tolu’ Akinyemi’s Born in Lockdown is a collection of poetry birthed in such a traverse. The poems explore the pandemic and lockdown, and the myriad feelings, effects and reactions it birthed. The collection begins with a declaration of the poet’s utter despair: There is a pandemic in my head, raging like boiling water. There is a war in my mind, tugging at the deepest part of my soul. There is a thunderstorm in my heart, wreaking havoc like it is doomsday. At each flip of the page, you come across poems that are either personal or reflective, or poems that are querying in tone. On how the pandemic disrupts intimacy, Tolu’ wrote: Your love in my heart was innocent and untainted until COVID crept in and the veil of deceit was lifted. What’s appealing about this collection is the simplicity of Tolu’s style and the softness of his metaphors. His similes and imagery are like the vivid strokes of an artist on canvas; they’re not ambiguous. You read lines like: The silence in this house is eating me up like termites ravaging wood. This is poetry – minimalist, yet pronounced in what the poet was able to use simple words to achieve. In this collection, Tolu’ has proven himself a master of language, using words to weave moods and emotions. You oscillate between the heaviness of loneliness to the grief of a wrecked relationship to the hope of vaccines that will save the world. This collection promises you a titillating experience.

Uncover the truth behind the mysterious samurai warriors, learn about the incredible health benefits of Japanese cuisine, and be amazed by the mind-boggling innovations that have shaped Japan's past and present. With each turn of the page, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate tapestry of customs, beliefs, and accomplishments that make Japan truly unique. Here are just a few of the 100 remarkable facts you'll find inside: The Jōmon period (c. 14,000–300 BCE) marked the beginning of Japanese civilization, with hunter-gatherers creating intricate pottery designs that laid the foundation for Japan's rich artistic tradition. These early inhabitants subsisted on a diet of fish, wild plants, and game, and their pottery, known as Jōmon ware, is considered some of the oldest in the world. The arrival of Buddhism in Japan from Korea in 538 CE, during the Asuka period (538–710), had a profound impact on Japanese culture, art, and politics. Buddhism quickly gained popularity among the ruling class, leading to the construction of numerous temples and the creation of breathtaking Buddhist art. The Heian period (794–1185) is often considered the pinnacle of classical Japanese culture. With the relocation of the capital to Heian-kyō (present-day Kyoto) in 794, this era saw the flourishing of art, literature, and poetry amid the elegant court life of the imperial city. The Tale of Genji, written by Murasaki Shikibu during this period, is celebrated as a masterpiece of world literature. The Tokugawa shogunate implemented the policy of sakoku (closed country) in 1639, which limited foreign interaction and banned Christianity in an effort to maintain stability and control. This policy, which remained in effect for over 200 years, had a profound impact on Japanese society, fostering a unique cultural identity and contributing to the country's isolation from the rest of the world. The Meiji Restoration of 1868 marked the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and the beginning of a new era in Japanese history. Driven by a desire to modernize the country, Japan adopted Western technology, institutions, and ideas while seeking to preserve its own cultural identity. This period set Japan on the path to becoming a modern, industrialized nation. "Japan's Hidden Gems" is not just a collection of fascinating facts; it's a celebration of the indomitable spirit and resourcefulness of the Japanese people.
