Biography

I am Olalekan Ojenike, a Nigerian trained journalist, and a published poet. I do not belong to the school of thought that opines that poetry evolves from the society. Poetry, to me, is an integral part of the society. My creative interest goes beyond poetry: I write prose and play as well. And I write not only for adults, I write also for young adults and children.

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
