Deji Ajibade Libri

Sometimes I Wish It Could Always Be Day is a collection of conscious poems that explore diverse themes like climate change, war, spirituality, racism, and so on. The diverse themes notwithstanding, what strings this collection of poems together is the passion and conviction of the poet. Rich in metaphor and imagery and textured with flowery language, the poet hammers each message he is creating with the fire of a prophet and the stealth of a master of words. In the first verse of Summation, he writes: 1 + 1 equals the white rattling dark noses with the wealth of their skin; equals dark noses begging for spaces to breathe; for voices to ride on; for justice, as if she's wandered away like death's dear. You'll see this stealth and mastery of language throughout this collection. And this is what gives this collection its strength.
