When COVID-19 forced local author & social activist Ketu Oladuwa to halt his public jazz and poetry performance projects he switched gears, regrouped his energy and made a long term commitment to write and publish his own work instead. With a goal of producing three poetry chapter books in 2021, Oladua has just released the 2nd volume, entitled intimatez panoramic i. A reading from and discussion of the book will be presented at Wunderkammer Company on Wednesday, August 18th.
