The sublime poetry of omoseye bolaji
By Peter Moroe
Omoseye Bolaji has contributed a lot to African black writing. For many of us we associate him with superhuman contributions to journalism; but then again there is his nigh-phenomenal contributions to literature. This is understandable. It is baffling that any writer we know so well could have published so many stunning fictional books: Impossible Love, The Ghostly Adversary. The Guillotine, The subtle transgressor, People of the Townships, and the “Tebogo mystery” series: Tebogo Investigates, Tebogo’s Spot of bother, Tebogo Fails, Ask Tebogo, Tebogo and the haka, Tebogo and the epithalamion, and Tebogo and the pantophagist.
