“

These spare poems thrust us into self-examination, fellowship, celebration. They are stylistically adventurous. Conscientious and erotic, Adura Ojo’s work attacks whatever threatens full personhood and pleasure… Mania’s charged tonality seethes with defiance. I like this book.

— Uche Nduka, author of Author of ‘Author of Living In Public and Facing You‘

“Words of Eros collects forty-six unpretentious poems that focus on love and sex in ready apples planted in the middle of thoughts.” – Su’eddie Vershima Agema

“Words of Eros is an erotic collection of poetry that speaks volumes on sensuality and vigorously libidinous passions… Sometimes, it is hard to believe the extent the poet painstakingly went to conceal the lustful images in the poems. He of course, is skillful with words and uses them uprightly to drive his point home.” – Eugene Yakubu

He won the 2018 Dusty Manuscript Prize, 2017 ANA Prize for Fiction (first runner-up), Nigerian Writers Award (NWA) for Best Poet in Nigeria and Orange Crush Prize for Poetry (2012).
