This book is conceptualised by Pachyderm Tales and Compiled by Mayaakatha. (SHE) in itself means NATURE!Nature is the creator and the destroyer too. We take HER for granted. Humanitarian is in words, dictionaries or in literature. What we see around us is just a droplet in the ocean of Human around. Time immemorial we all have been battling with words, neighbors, for territories, for love or position. The five elements of nature is taught to a child in his/her school, to observe how canary yellow looks like in a laboratory experiment or to show how the gut system works in a frog which pinned to the board. How much do we teach our children about Nature that it is NATURE which created us and what we are giving back is in the form of chemicals to the vapors in the sky and barren land to our mother earth and depriving her of her children which is not human but the siblings called, "Trees, Birds, Insects and Animals."This anthology would be a different take in the animal kingdom. Stories are powerful and when shared with children they take the outcome we picturize in our mind. Hence this compilation and a garland of stories focusing on (SHE) in the animal kingdom.

Picking Up the Pieces is an anthology of 50 poems themed on a 22-year dictatorship of Gambia's former president and as well as the small West African country's current situation. From poems that preach peace to prevail in the land tagged with a broad smile to poems denouncing tribalism to those pointing out signs of dictatorial tendencies within the current government.One of the poems titled The Flautist for instance likened the start to finish of the former president's regime to a flute performer whose tunes were adored by people at first but started to receive hate from the same people later. The flautist tunes became monotonous and aggressive thereby forcing the listeners and dancers of his tune to react in the negative as they asked him to stop. Similar can also be said of the poem that followed called Chameleon that further shows the vision and or plans the then chairman of a provisional ruling council intended to accomplish only to become a despot later-mistreating his people.These poetry collections not only tell of the past that has derailed the country's growth, but it also laid bare the current political and socio-economic realities confronting the new dispensation. There are poems decrying Gambia's continuous stay of penury as she relies on aid and grants from the West and other countries abroad in order to survive. Aside from the lamentations, this anthology highlights natural resources Gambia is endowed with, which with the right leadership, could transform the small West Africa nation into a developed one.

The life of melancholy bestowed upon the poet remained to be the inspiration for this compilation. Not only were the words tinkered with the most somber of thoughts, but it was also prompted by the darkness now filtering humanity. The world may not notice it, yet the shadow was ever-creeping, moving slowly from mind to mind to influence perception and, thus, there is an eclipse of joy; shadowed no doubt by experiences.
The poems in The Notepad Poems simply signify poems which are written in a notepad, although not necessarily in a physical notepad, because they are written in a mobile notepad app. The whimsical nature of the poems is due to the way in which they are written, for a mobile phone is a very handy gadget which can be carried wherever one goes, so a person can write in it whenever inspiration comes. Because of the endless scroll-like and narrow page of the notepad app, the poems of The Notepad Poems are longer which spans to more than five pages, with one among them surpassing thirty pages. Their length is not the only insistent element of structure they have, but also the width of the lines, which are shorter and only fill the half side of the page.The Notepad Poems is a poetry inclining towards the genre of avant garde, dada or surrealism. All of the poems (except Fragments Of August, a love poem, and An End & A Beginning, a narrative poem) are written in the same vein as if they have been uttered in drunkenness. When reading these poems, the reader is given an image to visualize and then another image appears abruptly when the thought describing the first image ends, just like in our dreams, the images that we see are disjointed and fragmented without any relevant connection with each other. So the poems are like moving pictures in chaos.

While both of them experience accomplishments and victories along the way, they encounter recurring bouts of depression and grieving over their loss, yet their persistence and perseverance enable them to achieve victory by the end of the story. Olasehinde presents Tayo's odyssey in a first-person singular narrative throughout the story. This enables the reader to emotionally identify with various peaks and valleys of his maturing as a young man. For readers who have ever experienced the loss of a loved one and the subsequent grieving and/or depression, the writer's treatment of the ways Tayo and his mom cope with the setbacks, challenges and victories offer a lesson about the resilience of human nature in facing the darkness and light that are part of everyone's life.Olasehinde masterfully incorporates rich anecdotal material about how Tayo, his mom, and other characters respond to the positive and negative situations they encounter. For example, Tayo's responses to the stresses of his grade level proficiency examinations, winning an inter-school competition, orientation to university life, and his mixed experiences in his teaching jobs----are believable and engaging to the reader.Overall, this book is a story of hope-----a realistic progression from uncertainty and darkness to resolution and triumph.

They have a strong mutual understanding about the feelings they have for each other, at the same time understanding that they cannot be together. Eric: I open my eyes and find myself standing alone in an empty room. The ceilings and the walls are neatly painted white. And the floor is composed of polished light brown wood. And there is a dark brown framed window at one corner where the light comes from. A bright yellow and pale red orange light tells me the sun is setting and soon it will be dark. Eric is a ghost who always appears in Irina's dream. Irina: I open the door to the bedroom. There is a dark brown framed window at one corner where the light is coming from. The yellow orange light passes through the open window. I see Eric standing right there on the spot captured by the yellow light. 'You came back.' I said. He stood there looking me in the eye. I almost died. Irina is a time traveler who may or may not change his fate. They alternatively tell a bitter sweet story.Love doesn't always mean together, sometimes it is deeper apart. Eric: I stand alone in the rain looking at the dark sky where all I can see is water, for it is both the rain and my tears flowing to my face. Irina: And suddenly it is no longer my reflection I see inside the mirror. What I see now is a figure of a man. I draw closer to see him clearly. But the closer I walk towards him, the farther I become from him. I couldn't get close.

This literature is based on my experiences and observation of their attitude and behavior every time I encounter each one of them.Some people believe that being rich require fancy cars, mansions, popularity, airplane, and a lot of money.

However, when you have a mindset, same as those rich individual; you're not afraid to lose everything. Since, you knew that you can have it back. Being rich is having a heart, mind and soul.

As rich people didn't teach their children the value of money, rather create it with their hands.
