In POETA, Pelumi Olatinpo draws on his experiences to explore the struggles of immigrants, the brutal reality of racism, and other outrage issues. His tool for raising awareness is the soneta. What makes this poetic form not only innovative but genuinely revolutionary:   Brevity and Impact: In six lines, with a maximum of ten words per line, the sonata distills raw emotion and complex ideas, demanding the reader’s full attention.Versatility: From war and oppression to love and resilience, the soneta confronts the full spectrum of human experience.A Weapon for Change: The soneta's intensity makes it the perfect tool to expose injustice, spark dialogue, and inspire action.Bridging Divides: The sonata invites blending languages and cultures, promoting understanding and connection in a fractured world.    Unfolding across six movements, POETA paints a visceral and unflinching portrait of our world, weaving a thread of urgency and hope:“Monsoon”: Chaos and destruction mirror the fragility of life.“Wildfire”: A blazing confrontation of racism, oppression, poverty, and hate.“Drought”: The relentless horrors of war, including the war in Gaza, and their senseless toll.  “Eclipse”: A chilling descent into darkness and despair.  “Blossom”: The struggle towards redemption, rebirth, and freedom. “Prisma”: A traditional sonnet form offering a kaleidoscopic meditation on love and the possibility of salvation.
