Many people hate poetry, but everybody loves a good story. So, how do you make someone who hates poetry read poetry?

Simply write poetry that’s vivid, witty and relatable, telling stories that the reader can easily identify with, poetry that can be read and enjoyed effortlessly, yet retaining the essence of poetry.

This is what Tolu’ Akinyemi has done with 'Your Father Walks Like a Crab’ and the 123 poems it contains, presenting an appeal to people who would not normally read poetry.

It is fresh, vivid, whimsical, somewhat cheeky and sprinkled with wit and humour.
It is about relationships: familial, platonic or romantic; it is also about beauty and of course, love - the love of it, the hate of it, the wait for it, the praise of it, the search for it, the find of it, the fall into it, the rejection of it and also the 'things' that get broken by it.

5,0 su 5 stelle Best ccollection of poetry that i have ever read
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 7 novembre 2015

I love this book too much, I have never seen poetry; African poetry especially, written in such a simple and wise way... If you read between the lines, apart from the humor that the author has uniquely produced in this collection of poems and his other book I laugh at these skinny girls", you will find useful advices, and knowledge that is applicable to all areas of one's life. I will definitely recommend this book and "I laugh at these skinny girls" to anyone and everyone, people that hate poetry and people that love poetry... And I am still speechless about the title, it fascinates me when people like Tolu Akinyemi, not only thinks outside the box but also write beyond expectation.

My primary reason for reading a book or listening to a song is the message or moral in it. This book has so many messages and morals, things to laugh about, things to ponder about, and things to learn about life. The depth in Tolu's writing is totally Amazing!
You don't necessarily have to be a poetry lover to enjoy this book as it entails everything about our day to day life .From Politics;OUR LAND WAS GREEN about a corrupt nation packed with selfish and greedy leaders, at the end of this poem the author pointed light to the fact that there's hope for change. I found one called THE MIRACLE extremely funny, it's about a woman who acted cold towards her husband and wouldn't speak to him and the second he offered her some money suddenly her sealed lips became unsealed.FALLING OUT & THE WORLD WE THINK WE KNOW has so much depth, talks about our present society, and how we move in such a speedy pace that we sometimes skip the relevant things of life, it gives you something to ponder about. A REPOSE SUPPLICATION gave me cold chill as it reminds me of how fragile life is. My favourites are TO THE MAN,TAKEN EVERY TIME, IF I FALL IN LOVE this ones are about relationship/lust/love. WHATEVER HAS NO MOUTH brought me to tears as i reflect on what my mum use to say to me while growing up. Presently my book as being hijacked by my aunt who found one called THE WAY IT IS very fascinating, she saw some fact in it and couldn't agree more that i got a very good book. This book is a MUST HAVE,go get yours fam!

The poems therein are beautifully written and inspire beautiful meanings to the reader. Also, the poets use of simple words to paint a picture so real and true in the readers mind is one I must applaud. I've laughed, I've cried, I've had my thoughts travel from my head to my heart... Infact it's being a mixture of emotions. He isn't just the poet, but the poetry himself. So, for those of you who hate poetry, those of you who love poetry and even the indifferent ones, this is a book I would definitely recommend, as the writer has succeeded in breathing life back into my love for poetry! God bless the writer. 200/100 😊

Your father walks like a crab, his oily mouth needs a swab... and yet another review that will read like a father with oily mouth and will need some swabbing later.

I enjoyed this fine compilation; it echoes, maybe I should say these poems reminds me of my times in "motherland", where you have the elders telling you stories of land -- the lessons it encapsulates, and it's just so relaxing.

I should not forget to mention some of its comical undertone, some from even recent "Afro" pop culture (for example, "To Please The Oga At the Top") -- going through my third reading of the book -- yes, it's that interesting and like the subtitle says, it's Poetry For People Who Hate Poetry! True.

Judging by the title, I am the target audience: I don't like poetry. I generally find it self-absorbed and ostentatious. In the wake of Your Father Walks Like a Crab, I still don't like poetry, but I do like this book.

I was reminded of the gritty, dusty sand and harsh bushes of Namibia, the flocks of people heading home at dusk, and the longing of love. My brain still doesn't like the format of poetry, but I've come to see its use in distilling thoughts and feelings into sparse lines.

This is poetry of modern Africa, waiting for love, and watching the passing by of life in a beautiful, harsh world.

The most beautiful things
In life,
They say they come for free

There is the most beautiful woman
I've ever seen
I wonder, is she free?

* I was provided with a free copy for unbiased review. I post my honest opinion; if I don't like a book and would have to give a sharply negative opinion, I refrain from posting any review at all out of respect for the author. Thus if you see a positive review from me, it's real. I rarely rate five stars, a ranking which is reserved for all-time favorites.
