From the author of fragrance of your love, a collection of more than 60 poems with selections from his first collection dark white. At time raw and mischievous, at times outrageous and heartfelt, this fierce collection of poems by Haruna Adinoyi Yusuf - one of the most energetic poetic voices to have emerged in recent years - touch a wide range of subjects, from growing up to women, from love to death, from writing to absurdity. In a plain, audacious and imaginative voice, the poet writes: I am beautifully arrogant
like my neighbour's peacock.
I am usually like that,
but with my smile of honey
and words of cotton wool
you will take me a neonate.
but you see,
I am beautifully arrogant. tea by sun; milk to nine:
I am me, foxy like a new trick.
you just won't see
because
I spread such a heat of rainbow.
but you see
I a beautifully arrogant. don't confuse my strut
for being strung-out on weed;
my legs are stallion-strong.
don't think my guffaw a puppy yelp:
I embrace my freedom with abandon
because
I am beautifully arrogant. I am young.
I am cool.
I am a poet.
and I don't care what you think
because
I am beautifully arrogant.
I am usually like that,
but with my smile of honey
and words of cotton wool
you will take me a neonate.
but you see,
I am beautifully arrogant. tea by sun; milk to nine:
I am me, foxy like a new trick.
you just won't see
because
I spread such a heat of rainbow.
but you see
I a beautifully arrogant. don't confuse my strut
for being strung-out on weed;
my legs are stallion-strong.
don't think my guffaw a puppy yelp:
I embrace my freedom with abandon
because
I am beautifully arrogant. I am young.
I am cool.
I am a poet.
and I don't care what you think
because
I am beautifully arrogant.
