Something About Everything Dele Arogundade

Poetry has always been the highest form of art, and it is honourable that Dele Arogundade has chosen this God-like language to speak to us. In Something About Everything, Dele Arogundade offers the literary world a brilliant collection fetched from years of growing, study, travel, and hope. The entire book is creatively patterned into sections with independent titles. From the Jordan to Rwanda, down to Johannesburg, to the Plateau, to Kaduna, and other enthralling places with visionary people, the reader on the wings of words is taken on a journey to remeber. "Random Vibes, "Motivations," and "Celestial," are other sections rich with poems that not only X-rays vital aspects of ouer lives as humans, but offers us a choice.- Onotu David Onimisi, Chairman, Association of Nigerian Authors, Plateau State - NigeriaDele Arogundade's collection of poems examines the life and times of a well-travelled wizened person who is not afraid to express his views of the world today. The poems are short and precise and the words bring many nostalgic images to the readers' memories. He employs the use of free verse, suspense, climax and satire amongst other poetic devices to keep readers glued to his poems.- Timi OduesoThe poems are impressive, the style is unique. He's simple hearted, spurred and stirred by the simplest of things. The brevity, concision and precision is the highlight for me. It sustains the interest of the reader. A man of knowledge and creativity may have written these poems but it's a man of experience who spoke.- Patience Agada (WordsDiv
