Martin Luther King Jr. and Other Poems: The Calm Strength of Humanity - Paperback

by Yemi D. Ogunyemi (Author)

The writing of Martin Luther King Jr. and Other Poems gestated in 2018 shortly after the successful completion and publication of Yoruba Philosophy and the Seeds of Enlightenment. The poetry work is divided into eight parts. While part 1 is the masthead--the poetic biography of Martin Luther King Jr.--part 2 through part 8 is a crown of jewels worn by many heads, poetizing and epigrammatizing in the calm strength of knowledge and humanity, cognate with the constructive metabolism.
