pArt has always been about the expression of emotions and desires. We have a favourable sentiment about poems that explore love and the intricacies of the heart which poets such as Pablo Neruda excelled at. But we get conservative when a writer explores Eroticism as a theme. This is why Jide Badmus emWhat Do I Call My Love For Your Bodyem is brave. ppampnbspppBut this bravery isnt what gives this collection its crowning glory.

Sex is worship. Sex is sacred. And sex is...rough The poet captures romance love and lust in their wholesomeness with a magical command of language.
