The Cartographer of Memory

Before our very eyes, the poetry of Boluwatife Afolabi has emerged, as a butterfly from a cocoon, and taken dainty flight. It is a privilege to witness these protean moments and to relish the ineffable joy they yield.

This chapbook has seen prior incarnations. In the way that the wind happens to the place with most of the tall grass, Afolabi’s inspiration has settled on those boughs that most exercise our sentience and our humanity.
