Junta of happenstance / Tolu Oloruntoba. by Oloruntoba, Tolu, 1985 - Palimpsest Press, 2021. Call #: 819.16 O52j Subjects Canadian poetry -- Black authors.   Canadian poetry -- 21st century.   Governor General's Award.   Griffin Poetry Prize. ISBN:  9781989287729 (pbk) Description:  103 p. ; 22 cm. Notes:  Poems. Some copies may be permabound. Summary:  "Personal, primordial, and pulsing with syncopated language, Tolu Oloruntoba’s poetic debut, The Junta of Happenstance, is a compendium of dis-ease. This includes disease in the traditional sense, as informed by the poet’s time as a physician, and dis-ease as a primer for family dysfunction, the (im)migrant experience, and urban / corporate anxiety. In the face of struggles against social injustice, Oloruntoba navigates the contemporary moment with empathy and intelligence, finding beauty in chaos, and strength in suffering. The Junta of Happenstance is an important and assured debut."--Publisher. Awards:  Winner of the Governor General's Literary Award for Poetry (English), 2021. Winner of the Griffin Poetry Prize (Canadian), 2022. Genre:  Canadian poetry.
