Description
Ellipsis is a collection of poems that captures the human experience in all its forms: love, lust, depression, pain, hurt… It is a collection that details the human voyage through life.
In Ellipsis, you see the pain of unrequited love, the ferocity of lust and the spirituality of worship and surrender.
The poet also talks about the darkness in his head, and the depression and uncertainty he faces while also being conscious of social and political matters.
What makes Ellipsis an interesting collection is the multiplicity of its themes and the poet’s use of simple words and light metaphors.
Advance Praise
"This is beautiful because... like love and death and the death of love, we live and will leave ...like memories and yearnings, like thoughts, like...
Adejuwon's Ellipsis is more than a collection, it is a flow- a continuum of disconnections. The flow of love into lust into heartbreak and into healing... and then a break; the flow of healing into hurting into depression into pain... and then a breakthrough!
Kọ́lábòmí
"" your body
is an amalgamation of pains & scars,
a map carrying darkness the weight of a dead child.""
Poetry has never been more spiritually descriptive. Juwon's words feel like heavy letters breathing to bear the weight of his thoughts. Ellipis is a masterful collection!

Juwon's first poetic offering, Ellipsis, is everything soft, everything pressed & everything wholesome...a pitcher of Lana Del Rey under the twilight sky.
