Withering Expectations

By Aiye-Ko Ooto

"Withering Expectations" as title suggests, is Aiyeko-ooto's exploration of sadness, sickness and servitude faced by humanity in the tussle of life. In this anthology of 50 poems in 5 movements, the poet reveals how currents of shiny, shimmering and starry goals of life lose luster and become grey, dull and sullied in clouds. Translocating readers' emotions through his poetic medium: Dark Night of the Soul; Painful Memorabilia; Tremor at the Edge; Wreath of Hard Thorns and Ruby in a Saddle Bag. Don't be surprised, in this anthology from its "dedication to the last verse", we suffer darkness, pain, tremor, thorns and ruby. But Aiyeko-ooto philosophically resolves that through solitude of calmness, order of thoughts and connected human experiences, we can overcome our fears.
