WHAT SOME HAVE SAID ABOUT Adeshina OLUSANYA's poetry:


"The beauty of virtually every verse in Hues Lane consists in its rhythmic flow and simplicity of expression." - Folu Agoi (2006), Chairman,Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA), Lagos, Nigeria.

"All in all, this anthology (Heartstrings) due to its proper arrangement has been recommended to some schools in Lagos state." - New Age Newspaper

"Just like Heartstrings, the poems in Hues Lane capture the beauty in nature, in simplistic and poetic form. Poems in this collection are narrative, dramatic and lyrical in nature. His poetry sings: they stand for truth and beauty in nature. These poems describe ordinary people in simple settings but the thoughts and emotions behind the poems are more complex." - New Age Newspaper

"...Hues Lane is a poetic portrait reflecting an exciting range of colours drawn from the author's socio-cultural and political milieu." - Daily SUN Newspaper

"...the poems are easily digestible in terms of content and form... Adesina Olusanya's diction has given poetry a human face...Heartstrings is a result of many years of rumination, an attempt to lift the hearts of many that are strung with the many problems of life." - National Interest Newspaper

"One major quality of Olusanya's Heartstrings is the poet's infusion of Haiku culture in the collection...This is where the poet becomes a trailblazer. his dramatization of the location is as imaginative as that of the Haiku grandmasters: Kyakuchi and Matsuo Basho...This is where the poet stands out from other Nigerian poets."
