Strains of Endless Love

What does love look like when it passes through the prism of consciousness, faith, heartbreak, and the healing herb?

Strains of Endless Love is a debut poetry anthology by Nigerian artist Tosin Akinade — a raw, introspective journey through the depths of the human experience. Across 17 poems, Tosin moves between romantic longing and spiritual reckoning, between the streets of Lagos and the silence of a diaspora existence, between euphoric idealism and unexplainable sadness.

Divided into three acts — Strains, Endless, and Love — this collection is part confession, part cosmic conversation, and part social commentary. It asks hard questions about governance, God, desire, identity, and what it means to be alive and searching in the 21st century.

For readers of contemporary African poetry, alt-lit, and psychedelic literature.
