The Curtain Raiser, is a collection of poems. The poetry within is divided into five sections and relates with different aspects of my life including Racism, Passions, Realities, a new dawn, and a love story. In this book, I write poems in three different languages. The majority of the poems are in English; however, I devote a poem apiece to Russian and to Yoruba. The Curtain Raiser is a prelude to my upcoming book, 'The Miracle Mind and a World beneath what we See'; a memoir which captures my composition in greater detail and scrutiny.
