A hand that knows midnight and morning. In Pieces of Midnight, Olutayo K. Osunsan gathers the broken hours and teaches them to sing. This is a collection born in the quiet after noise, in the pause between prayer and answer. The poems move through loss and love, doubt and devotion, family and faith, the weight of responsibility, and the strange humour of everyday survival. They are deeply human, often tender, sometimes piercing, and always honest.
These poems do not rush to comfort. They sit with questions. They listen. They wrestle with God, memory, and self, then rise with a humility shaped by grace. From the intimacy of the home to the solitude of the mind, from public roles to private reckonings, Pieces of Midnight turns fragments into meaning and silence into song.
Written in clear, lyrical language, the collection speaks to readers who have known weariness, who have stood awake at odd hours counting both wounds and wonders. This is poetry for those who believe that faith is not the absence of darkness, but the courage to speak within it.
Excerpt from Midnight:
This is me in the midnight hour,
Gathering fragments, piece by piece,
Whispering the Name that holds all power.
