Nocturnal Notes is a testament to the unending desire to navigate our paths through the human condition. Many of these poems provide a prism into Bola’s youth in Nigeria under military dictatorship. While this may seem intimidating to the reader who lives within another cultural crucible, the poet does not veer off into abstractions. His language is fluid, intelligent, rich in imagery, storytelling and emotion, yet accessible for its minimalism and optimism. Honesty is his stage and hope, an ever-present prop. Even when tackling heart-wrenching motifs, Bola gives us a taste of immeasurable hope.
