Olé ! That was some vintage Wole, to be savoured. Looking forward to the eulogy he talked about in that Sahara Reporters interview.
I must congratulate you Amatoritsero! The Maple Tree Literary Supplement has really taken off from grace and has arrived – at least bookmarked by I and I. But that wikid editorial of yours about Papal Bull sounds a little like Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi's recent update, same post-colonial flavour :The Post-Doctrinal Vatican . I'm looking forward to the era when your spoken word section will feature audio recordings of spoken poetry ( "oral tradition") - even in song...
So you are an irate post-monasatic turned iconoclastic like Chidi Anthony Opara - always attacking Christian missionaries, and you yourself show no tender poetic feelings for the Brother monks and the pastors and their flocks? Maybe we should all start fasting like that self styled "Diapist"?
What would Gerard Manley Hopkins says about that for attitude? Not that I look forward to any more irreverent treatment of the papacy being replaced by some Maple Syrup poetry.
