In \u003ci\u003eÈṣù at the Library \u0026amp; Other Poems\u003c\/i\u003e, Túbọ̀sún returns to his favourite tools of travelogue as a vehicle for the interrogation of memory through the limits of language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTúbọ̀sún's superpower is writing poems that stick in your head whether they are playful or serious. There is an astuteness to them that comes from a thoughtful observation of humans and of human nature. I recommend this collection over and over again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChika Unigwe \u003c\/b\u003e(Author of \u003ci\u003eThe Middle Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKọ́lá, offers his readers a worthwhile convergence of occasions. By colliding at a mythological crossroad of ideas, contentions, and feelings, the poems in this book serve as sacrificial leftovers for the living who hunger for essence. As one might expect from good poetry, this is a collection that gives words to the marginal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJùmọ̀kẹ́ Verissimo \u003c\/b\u003e(Author of \u003ci\u003eI Am Memory\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"He sits at the crossroads and confuses the wisest of mortals and gods.
