When poetry is delivered with the right
expressions, rhymes, passion and finesse, it
embodies the essence of literature as an art; for
poetry lovers, the launch of ‘Deep’, a compilation
of exciting, engaging, endearing and unique
poems by Joseph Ogbuka was a perfect definition
of literature and embodies this essence.
From the settings, to the costume of the ushers in
African attire, to the rendition of some select
poems by Joseph and his daughters; the
thematic event was in sync with everything that
literature embodies.
It was a fine evening relaxing amidst the fusion of
music, dance and drama; with some of the
rendered poems speaking to the very fabric of our
being. Poems like ‘Life’, ‘#BringBackOurGirls’,
‘Occupy Nigeria’, ‘Mystery’, ‘Nothing’, and more
all speak to the beauty of life and how we always
overcome its challenges and become better as a
people.
‘Deep’ was launched at Ultma Studios in Lagos,
will be launched in Calabar in a few weeks.
With the launch of ‘Deep’ by enthusiastic and
passionate professionals like Joseph, it is a
signal to the renaissance of Africa literature in
contemporary times.
