A poet's love game - Rotimi Fasan

Rotimi Fasan believes that Ahmed Maiwada has got a deep talent for poetry. Perhaps Maiwada's generation might not yet understand him owing in large part, to his experimentations.
Here's Rotimi Fasan's judgment:
"Being misunderstood (especially in the notoriously subjective field of poetry) is a burden this poet must for now bear as a traveller on the not-so-well-beaten path of avant-gardist poetry. With time and better familiarity, his poetic experimentations will meet with more appreciative readers."
I love Fasan's delicate touch. This is what good reviewers do. Mature readers see the truth in between the lines. ENJOY!
