“

Perhaps, the greatest gift Tukur has given the world in A Boy’s Tears on Earth’s Tongue is not just that the poems offer a fresh perspective on dealing with the life’s complex spectra, it is more of the generosity of the poet to guide the reader to see the world from an individualist-universalist perspective, more akin to ethical relativism.

Tukur’s collection of poems is for mature minds. He talks of the mundane and the critical in one breath; with attention to fine details. His use of words is deliberate as he eloquently stamps his philosophies in each piece. You will definitely enjoy this eclectic literary offering from this beautiful mind.
