America turns 250 in 2026. As the nation approaches this milestone amid profound division and reckoning, Pelumi Olatinpo’s MANIFEST DESTINY delivers an essential examination of what we’ve been, what we are, and what we might become.
This isn’t a traditional book. It’s a new form entirely — “sonetas” that compress centuries into seconds, each one exactly sixty words. Think of them as diagnostic tools, or prayers, or evidence. Olatinpo’s innovation makes complex history feel like music in your bones.
Olatinpo writes with the authority of someone who has lived the contradictions he interrogates: arriving undocumented at fifteen and becoming a citizen twenty-two years later. This second book, after the acclaimed Poeta, moves through four sections—from intimate love through historical memory to prophetic witness—each soneta a small revelation.

Poeta by Pelumi Olatinpo
"Poeta," is a visionary exploration of the human condition through the lens of poetic innovation and socio-conscious reflection. It's a rich tapestry woven from the threads of six distinct mini-worlds, each a universe unto itself, yet interconnected by the universal themes of love, struggle, transformation, and resilience. At the heart of this exploration is the introduction of the "Soneta," a unique fusion of the sonnet's lyrical precision and the sonata's musical complexity, offering readers a fresh and rhythmic experience of poetry.
