Through the lens of sociocriticism and mythology, the study unveils the poems engagement with socials symbols, collective beliefs and transcendental realities embedded in the African cosmology. Thus, this article argues that Idanre & Other Poems dramatizes the oscillation between chaos and order in human life. It also foregrounds the role of spiritual belief systems as mechanism of survival, meaning-making, and communal cohesion in African societies.
