I got interested in Literature during high school where I was taught literature in English and read poems such as ‘To His Coy Mistress’ by Andrew Marvel, ‘Songs of Sorrow’ by Kofi Awoonor and stories like ‘Romeo and Juliet’, ‘Hamlet’ by William Shakespeare, ‘Black Boy’ by Richard Wright.
My writing journey began in 2012 during a Creative writing Class in University of Jos, I co-wrote some stories as assignments and projects which groomed and enhanced my writing skill, also taught me how to use emotions to build a vivid vision in the reader’s mind.
In 2014, I opened a Blogspot “Trending Train” which I published several articles and short stories that resonates with human experience. Getting satisfactory feedback from my readers inspired me to publish a book “The Dance of Shadows” A collection of poems which is available in some bookstores, Amazon and Kindle.
Adetiloye Adesida’s passion for words is evident in the evocative verses of his poetry collection, “The Dance of Shadows,” as well as the captivating prose of his short story “Broken”. With a degree in Mass Communication, He wields language with a creative hand, which resonates with human emotions, societal challenges, and personal reflections that linger long after the final page is turned. His rhythmic flow and evocative imagery create worlds inside words, enticing readers to dig deeper into life’s intricacies.
However, Adetiloye’s journey began even before the publication of his first poetry collection. He has been honing his craft in a variety of literary styles since 2014, from engaging short tales to feature articles, and thought-provoking poems. This diverse experience developed in him a critical eye, a thirst for knowledge, and a resilience that allows him to embrace feedback and refine his work.
In 2023, Adetiloye’s talent shone at the New Americans Book Fair at the Columbus Metropolitan Library, Dublin City, Ohio. His work resonated with audiences, solidifying his place as a distinctive voice in contemporary literature.
