    About this ebook

    Sheer Poetry features the first twelve years worth of work from poet, Kehinde Sonola.

    Spanning the years 1989 to 2000, it represents the perspectives and hopes of a child and adolescent as they view their local surroundings and the world at large in a time of great cultural and technological change. Human character, nature, and travel are other major themes covered by a variety of joyful poems.

    Broken into four chapters, the anthology Sheer Poetry also contains the poet’s first work, Fish, written at a very tender young age.
