About The Book
Dead Dogs
Don’t Bark is the second poetry collection from the acclaimed author, Tolu A.
Akinyemi. With a similar tone and style to Dead Lions Don’t Roar (Tolu’s first
poetry collection) this follow up masterpiece is nothing short of pure
motivation. The poems cover a range of topics that many in life are aware of,
that the Author himself has experienced and that we all, whatever our age, need
support in. Beautifully written, the poems speak volumes to all age groups as
they feature finding your inner talent, celebrating your individuality and
distinct voice. The poetry collection has didactic elements for evaporating the
effects of peer pressure and criminality amongst many others. Also covering
mental health, relationships, career focus, and general life issues, the poetry
is bitter sweet, amusing and thought provoking in turns.
