Poetry is a tool of social engineering. According to Aristotle, ‘poetry is more philosophical and worthy  of serious attention than history’.
Poetry by my conviction is the ‘ confluence of art and sciences, in it agnosticism and faith co-worship, geography and literature cohere and philosophy takes communion with architecture’. It is in this light that I am inviting all and sundry to the launching of my second book of poetry entitled ‘Lokoja and Other Poems’. The book contains 66 poems in 90 pages.
The book would have been presented in 2014 during the centenary celebration of Nigeria bearing in mind the significant place of Lokoja in Nigeria’s history being the ‘maid and priest’ of the nation but it was not to be due to issues beyond the author. However, now is the time.
The event is coming up at the Children Amusement park Lokoja on the 11th of March 2017 by 10 am prompt. I am looking forward to seeing you at the event.
May the almighty God reward your support of love as we gather to celebrate Kogi’ heritage while promoting peace, harmony and development.
Thank you.
Samuel Elere.
