Description

Soap bubbles symbolize aesthetics, fascination, joyfulness, playfulness, and even the transience of life. These fragile transparent pieces confront us with the contradictions of life: the relentless conjunction of gain and loss, happiness and sadness, present and past, plenitude and lack. Rich in forms and styles, Soap Bubble intimates the creative and destructive movements of human co-existence, bearing witness to the caducity, rhythm, and happiness of life. In this collection of poems that is lyrical and enterprising, Nimi Wariboko demands that we engage the mystical, mystique, misery, and mundane that are in every human society. Terse and light on the eyes, his poems explore the familiar terrains of life's twists and turns with subtlety and novel insights, affirming and celebrating the soap-bubbly life that is superbly human.
