Fascinated with the world behind the words, Kojo..s poetry embraces the spectrum of human experience and brings together a range of emotions and thoughts in free flowing verse.Uninhibited by boundaries, he is constantly learning and stretching his craft.. ..on a quest to find the perfect poem, a gentle balance between word, rhythm and thought ..a poem that sends the moon and sun dancing over the skyline hand in hand...His poetry is a passionate journal detailing a life still finding its truth, a life that is neither ordinary nor extraordinary, a life that is representative of us all.As a performer, Kojo struggles to make peace with exposing elements of his soul, while driven by the need to interact and share with his environment.It is a love/hate relationship .. ..what is it I do, standing before you, sprouting words of pseudo-intellectuality .. I, the poet, and you, the listener, or is it, I, the patient and you, the psychiatrist... The voices in his head still speak, and the words still come.
