What other’s say about “The Beauty of Words”

Ogunmodede’s Beauty of Words was joyful, hopeful, and inspiring. I believe Youth has provided these magnificent gifts within her writing. It is a rich and engaging read. Rich in heart, insight, and joy.

Ogunmodede is a young Nigerian poet. The fragility of her life experience is what makes her such an esteemed and mature writer. She has a way of holding on to what is possible in life. That outlook made reading Ogunmodede’s words/poems effortless. Some poets are made others are born. She is the latter. There is a range of topics family, nature, friendship, love, perseverance, and so much more. Beyond the Skies, Queen of the Night, Enchanter, Forget Me Not, Rhythm of Life, Echoes of Sorrow, & When Would Tomorrow Come? These were my favorite poems. Ogunmodede’s writings/poetry are needed. They provide a respite of calm, delight, and joy. Elizabeth O. Ogunmodede is a writer who is needed at this time.

Highly recommended and 5-Stars because she makes you fall in love with language.
