Book Description
The second title in a poetry series for younger readers. The author introduces his own work: 'The poems in this series are designed to make you think as you sing, to help you discover the beauty of poetry as a companion of music and the product of human imagination... Many of the poems deal with nature and the environment; rural life and city life; time and the seasons; the foods you eat; little things and big things; 'riddles' which show you the difference between right and wrong; things which make you laugh or cry; and wise sayings which will help increase your wisdom...there are also poems about Nigeria our country, Africa our continent, and the world at large.' Niyi Osundare is perhaps Nigeria's greatest living poet, and one of Africa's finest literary scholars. He is the author of many books of poetry, plays and essays. He has received the Commonwealth Poetry Prize, the Association of Nigeria Authors' Prize and the Noma Award for Publishing in Africa. His works have been translated into half a dozen languages. His poems are accompanied by illustrations and commentaries by fellow literature scholar Ayo Banjo.

Book Description
To make optimum use of the Corona forced break from academic work, and to make learning fun, All India Forum for English Students, Scholars and Trainers (AIFEST) organized an Online International Poetry Competition for lovers of literature and poetry in November 2020. The participants were divided into three categories: Middle School (Classes V to VIII), High School (Classes IX to XII), and an Open Category for everyone else. Themes for poetry were different for different categories.The results were announced on 20th November 2020, following which recitations of selected poems were compiled and posted on the Official YouTube Channel of AIFEST. We left no stone unturned to ensure free, fair and just evaluation and competition. We also made sure that unbiased and capable judges evaluated the poems. All the submissions were checked for plagiarism using both Turnitin and Urkund software.Due to the huge volume of submissions we received, we had to omit many submissions based on the overall grade and score. We also understand that despite our best attempts, there could be subjectivity in evaluation and judgment. Pure objectivity, especially in evaluating poetry, is almost impossible. From the High School Category (Classes IX - XII), 66 poems were awarded A Grade. These poems were sorted and edited based on the subject matter, point of view, and treatment of the theme. This anthology features 35 poems on the theme 'New Love' compiled for the perusal and consumption of the enthusiasts. It is sincerely hoped that this anthology will find its place in libraries and book houses as a periodical literary compilation documenting the output of a pandemic stricken multitude.
