A POET AS AN ART DISSIDENT AND COLLECTOR

AUTHOR: Umar Abubakar Sidi Publisher: Masobe (2022) Number of Pages: 96 Curation is one of the crucial skills of a collector, so, it’s no wonder that Like Butterflies Scattered About by Art Rascals opened with a poem of gathering. A Gathering of Spirits, of dreams and hallucinations — a ritual of logic and magic on the canvas of mind, initiation into a world of surrealism and abstraction. It’s like a documentary of artworks in poetry form.
