Out of Curiosity - poetry collection to be released
Announcing the publication of a collection of poetry on Life, Love, Learning and Journeys
Lagos, Nigeria - July 2010
On Saturday 7 August, 2010, Out of Curiosity, Nwabundo Onyeabo's debut collection of poems will be released at the Hub - The Palms Shopping Mall, Lekki Lagos from 2:00pm to 3:00pm.
Out of Curiosity contains 47 poems written between 1996 and 2010, exploring love, life and other matters. It is a glimpse into the mind of a young lady from childhood, through her teenage years and young adult life. The published poems will amke you smile, make you laugh, may anger you and will definitely make you wonder.
The eclectic collection aims to fill the gaping need for young, confident female readers and writers of poetry in Nigeria.
Regarding the collection CNN African Journalism Award winner Tolu Ogunlesi says: "Out of Curiosity is not merely a poet sketching familiar and unfamiliar worlds from the vantage point of 'curiousness', it is a poet asking a reader, or a million readers, to take that transformative step, "out of" - away from - passive curiosity, into a world where big and small, old and new, personal and public, strange and normal, past and present, Africa and America, love and failed love, all band together to build a home, as though it were the most natural thing to do in the world."
Readings from the book will be done by Wole Oguntokun, CEO Jason Vision; Kunle Adeyoola, Rooftop MCs; and the author, Nwabundo Onyeabo.
The collection will be distributed by the management of The Hub.
