Olwal Dickens

Crickets In My Mind is an emotionally engaging collection of potent poems. The collection is clustered into five assemblages. Throughout the five clusters, the poems take the reader on a yin and yang journey, from smiles to giggles to laughter and frowns to tears to grieving, and without dwelling on loss for long; the reader is taken through a healing experience. Olwal Dickens paints intimate human experiences in an easily palatable way without watering down the complexity of the art form that is poetry. With a heavy reliance on the beauty of language, structure, and rhythm, Olwal churns out poems from deep at the core of his being, yet very relatable to the reader, perhaps a reminder that we are all humans with emotions, desires, fears, and dislikes.
