She will also be in discussion with Kola Tubosun, Dr. Ajomale, Mental Health Wellness coordinator of Lagos State Ministry of Health and Dr Ogbolu of SURPIN.
"On Attending My Own Wake is amazing! Aduke's immense talent, creativity, depth of thought and philosophical world view, ooze out in nearly 50 pages of brilliant poetry. How do you address serious and touching subjects with candour, humour at times and the often required delicacy? This collection of poems answers that."
— Kunle Kasumu (Channels TV Book Club).
"I'm lucky to have read @DuksyG's collection of poems before they were even typeset. If you've never spared a thought for mental health - yours or that of others - then prepare for a change of heart in a stunningly imaginative way. This chapbook just raced atop my must-read list!"
— Abdulkareem B. Aminu (journalist, illustrator and culture critic).
