In The Other Names of Grief, Rasaq Malik Gbolahan explores the problems in his society and creates pictures of what it looks like to be a Nigerian, of what it means to wake up daily and realize the fact that there are unrecorded pains and deaths everywhere. Beyond the spectacle of the poet’s grief, the reader also finds that the world they inhabit is a traumatic one: a world where there are people who flee every day from their homelands; a world where those who remember to narrate their losses are haunted by those losses. The poet’s quest is to unravel these aches and pronounce them to the world. However, there is love too. Even when love is meagre. Love is the inevitability of hope in a country fraught with manifold banes.
