There wasn't a comment box on the poem post so I am leaving it here.
Thank you for posting my work, my friend. I feel your blog when I visit. It has that special something that weaves inside me. The pictures of this post, for instance, they seem to be a life that has existed with me for some time. I think it is as much you as it is the subjects. Your soul, I feel, is an "old soul" as they say.
Thank you again.
Peace.

I am a writer and arts journalist now based in Lagos. This is a blog on arts and culture. The focus is on Nigeria's art scene, especially her 'Word's Body' - the writers. As and when, we'll also touch on wider African writing, as well as international literature. In short, a saturation of the arts.

Thanks for your encouraging comments. Darfur Down; the pleasure is mine.
I agree with your comments on the pictures from Stavanger. I did not take these pics however, they were snapped by Isioma Daniel; kudos to her.
