Snaggles & Giggles: Poetics in English PoetryPaperback, 27 July 2020

Snaggles & Giggles is an oxymoron. How come we have two opposites in this effect? Snaggles are tangled mess, knotted yarn threads, painful to trace. While giggles are comedy, drama and satire bundled together to relax and make laughter. Aiyeko-ooto picked this contradiction because that is what the Nobel laureate inspires. This anthology is dedicated to Professor Toni Morrison. In particular, Aiyeko-ooto examines answers to five human questions. First, what we evolve within- inner thoughts? Second, what stirs our brews - struggles and battles? Third, what we evolve without, - our natural environment? Fourth, what we embrace -laughter and errors? Finally, what we hold dearly -love and passion? These answers are found in five moods, in this collection of 50 poems. I hope you enjoy reading them in this anthology.
