<p><b>Akínwùmí Ìsòlá (1940–2018), renowned writer, scholar, and sentinel of indigenous African languages, contributed to the development of Yorùbá literary traditions by producing most of his literary works in Yorùbá. </b><br><br>His artistic pacesetting in Yorùbá literature included his anthology, <i>Àfàìmò Àti Àwon Àròfò Mìíràn</i> (1978), which contains poems composed over a significant period in his life. <i>Language, Translation, and Poetic Realities</i> considers Ìsòlá’s language use in this anthology; his contributions to the promotion of Yorùbá and African linguistic and cultural values; and the procedures, benefits, and challenges of translating his poetry into English. <br><br>In so doing, Akinloyè Òjó examines the understudied relationship between African oral traditions and contemporary African literature, addressing in particular the influential role of traditional forms of praise-singing in contemporary Yorùbá poetry.</p>
