GREAT BAY, St. Martin (May 29, 2018)—Fantasies – Love-making poems by Fabian Adekunle Badejo has just been published here by House of Nehesi Publishers (HNP), said the indie press president Jacqueline Sample.
The newest book by Badejo, a well-known St. Martin writer, is “A grown-up literary confection that does what verse written by men seems to seldom do these days,” said author and journalist Sharon Leach of the Jamaica Observer newspaper.
Fantasies will be launched at the opening ceremony of the 16th annual St. Martin Book Fair, Friday, June 1, 2018, 8 PM, at Motorworld Showroom, Cole Bay, said Sample. The book fair admission is free and all are welcome, said director Shujah Reiph.
Badejo will read selections from the adult-theme collection following the literary festival’s keynote address by award-winning author Edwidge Danticat (USA/Haiti).
“Edwidge Danticat is one of the most sought-after authors in the world today,” said HNP projects director Lasana M. Sekou, “and it’s an honor to launch an HNP title during her first visit to the St. Martin Book Fair.”
The poems in Fantasies “celebrate male strength by exploring in all its big-hearted glory, … its vulnerability, honesty … and, yes, avid beauty,” said Leach.
