“Vakunta’s Slanguage: Poems from Dreamland is a seminal piece of poetics that delves into the crevices of contemporary America and Africa. Divided into thematic realms, this book of poems is an awakening call for humanity to awaken from slumber and pay heed to the cry of the downtrodden of our time. The poet skillfully weaves into poetic form ontological concerns that human beings tend to handle with levity. Readers would be at ease with the commonplace lexical choices that seem to be the poet’s stock-in-trade.”
