From the Belly: Trickles from the Belly - Book 1

What if every poem were a doorway - and every doorway led deeper into the soul?

From the Belly is a stirring debut poetry collection by Dolapo Obafunmi - an invitation into a sacred interior space where the Ruach (Spirit) embroiders the tapestry of time. Through the voice of the Pilgrim Narrator, these poems trace the human journey from the cosmic construction of Genesis to the destination of Salem: the ultimate place of rest.

Multilingual in spirit and universal in soul, From the Belly draws on Arabic Al'qwal (The Sayings), Yoruba Òjá (the cloth of divine protection), and the Japanese art of Kintsugi - the beauty of being mended by gold - to build a roadmap for the searching soul.

Whether you are navigating the "Abyss Sabbath" of life's deepest fatigue or seeking the Hikma (Wisdom) to distinguish truth from illusion, this anthology is more than verse. It is a liquid so pure - for the bold and the daring.

Step into the light. Listen to the whisper. Let your spirit flow.
