In his second book of poetry, Seun Lari-Williams takes you on a danfo trip through the dark and the humorous sides of living in Nigeria, while embodying a range of feelings and images that are beautiful, yet haunting. Seun breaks new grounds with ‘A Little Violence’ in the creation and use of local imagery and Nigerian local English.

With his unpretentious and down-to-earth style, Lari-Williams perfectly captures the darkness that lurks in Nigeria (and the world) and peppers it with humor along the way. His meditations on love & loss, religion & spirituality, politics & his own personal identity, and humanity, all form a compelling experience for the reader. A Little Violence makes an excellent read for poetry, non-poetry, and dark humor fans.
