The Illuminant

A great poem comes from either of two places: the highest happiness or the deepest sorrow and the poet uses words that best capture the former or the latter. In The Illuminant, Lawal found thoughts for his feelings and words for his thoughts. He takes you on a journey of illumination with this timeless offering. It is one of those collections full of thoughts so deep and relatable that you find a piece of yourself in every word and every line.” – Bashirat Abdulwahab, Helping Practitioner and Author
