Seagulls and Seashells: An Illustrated Anthology of Poems

By Tobi Aluko

Seagulls and Seashells drifts between memory, love, history, and the noise of the twenty-first century. Set against the stillness of life in a coastal town, the collection explores what it means to feel deeply in a world that is constantly in motion.

Through moments of quiet reflection, such as lovers walking by the sea, lavender tended with patience, and a boy watching the world from his window, the poems capture the delicate interplay between serenity and restlessness. Beneath their calm surfaces lies an ache for home, meaning, and human connection in the digital age.

Throughout the collection, the poet returns to enduring questions: what does it mean to love, to lose, to dream? What becomes of beauty when attention fades?

Seagulls and Seashells is both elegy and beginning, a conversation between the earthly and the eternal, as expressed in poems like God is in the Water. It is a meditation on finding beauty in the mundane, in an age that rarely pauses to feel.
