Harmony is Words and Pictures

Vivid photographs are highlighted with poetic text by artist and author Oluwadahunsi. Relationships, interactions, feelings and emotions that make each day unique is the theme of his work. `My Book of Life, A Companion Piece: Letter to Maya Angelou`.

Letter to Maya Angelou, the first volume in a series of diverse writings by Oluwadahunsi, explores the essence of harmony, both with oneself and others, and navigates a complex route of thoughts and feelings. Brevity is the key to his effectiveness, and surprisingly profound messages emerge from his simple yet powerful statements. The poem, `The Happiest Time That Wasn`t` illustrates his style.

Oluwadahunsi allows the images to speak for themselves, adding brief insights that illuminate a range of contemporary human issues. The photographs, courtesy of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, offer readers a sampling of natural beauty. The words, original ruminations from this insightful poet, deliver simple truths and personal experiences.
