“Joy an’ Pain, Babe!!!” is the highly anticipated second collection of rhythm & rhyme by Tunde Balogun, self-published in December 2024. Inspired by a friend’s encouragement after reading T’s debut collection of poems, “Blouse an’ Skirt, Babe!!!”, this new collection reflects a journey of writing, listening, experimenting, mentoring, and performing at workshops and open mic events across the UK. It features themes of inclusivity, women's rights, knife crime, resilience, and self-care, offering a powerful reflection on social issues and personal empowerment.
Available in two sizes (5x5” or 8x8”), “Joy an’ Pain, Babe!!!” captures the highs and lows of life—joy & pain, sunshine & rain(bows), babe!
Testimonials
"From the heart and from the head Tunde delivers reality every time, wonderful work". Graham C.
“T’s little collection Sun an’ Rain Babe really does what it says on the tin. A zingy mixology of poetic wisdom on everything from football to menopause, xenophobia to self-care, knife crime to Black Cinderella. There’s even a poem in praise of rum if you’re looking for something punchy to add to your cocktail! Be prepared to be charmed, moved, inspired by T’s conversational, witty, down-to-earth home truths. Get your own copy!” Esua Goldsmith, Author
