Mounting the Clouds, a luminous new collection of poems by Victor Akinrinmade, reflects appreciation of everyday pleasures: a 'smile' from the sun, the source of joy on a particular day, the rainbow that shows one's 'beauty from head to toe,' some precious time spent at the beach, or flowers that 'glow and glow of joy.' The passionate and moving verse of Mounting the clouds presents poetry lovers with jewels that can be read and reread for years to come.
