#NewBookAlert: Mania by Adura Ojo is Out

Mania is a chapbook of poems by the British-Nigerian poet and storyteller, Adura Ojo. Published by Authorpedia, it is a 26 paged book and revolves around a number of themes.

“These spare poems thrust us into self-examination, fellowship, celebration. They are stylistically adventurous. Conscientious and erotic, Adura Ojo’s work attacks whatever threatens full personhood and pleasure... Mania’s charged tonality seethes with defiance. I like this book.”

— Uche Nduka, author of Author of 'Author of Living In Public and Facing You' blurbs on Mania.
