To all Omo a yọ orù bá wọn tọ́jú ọmọ tuntun;

Ọmọ́ gbó,

Orù ò gbó:

the offspring of those who bring out the orù pot of herbs to care for infants;

the baby prospers,

and the pot does not falter.”

Life

ByMoyo Okediji

Life, when lived properly, is like playing in this giant park called Earth.

Find the thing you love to play with, and turn it into your work.

Then you can start playing.

I play with words, to enjoy the miracle of sound.

I play with images, to savor the magnificence of sight.

Playing is the best way to give thanks to the Creator of this giant park, and to fully enjoy the fruits and drinks that the park abundantly supplies.

My edited book on the work of Dotun Popoola is now out.

My edited book on the work of Dotun Popoola is now out.

It looks so magnificent, like a grande Egungun performance.

The publisher says it goes for 50,000 naira per copy.

This hyper-colorful hardcover book that is larger than a royal Agbada arrived at my doorsteps for the New Year.

It is the most beautiful book I have ever seen.

Congrats to the wonderful art historians, Kunle Filani, Tolulope Sobowale, Olusegun Fajuyigbe, and Kehinde Adepegba, who contributed powerful essays to the book.
