jou ma se poems
Dear Aryan:
Many thanks for your message. I read your book in the 17-hour flight from Jo’burg to Atlanta and Charlotte. Many thanks for your book of poems. I enjoyed the poems–there is passion and I can capture the strong images you create. I also like the unconventional attitude that makes the themes and images very fresh in the mind. Keep on the good work.
It was a pleasure meeting you too. I hope to send you a copy of my new poems, whose three adavance copies I brought to Durban but soon sold out. I did not want to give the older collections and, as soon as the publishers get the books to me, I hope to send you a copy of IN THE HOUSE OF WORDS.
Again, thanks and let’s keep in touch.
Cordially,
Tanure Ojaide
