Sammy Hassan or Sage as he is fondly called, is the leading voice and premier figure in the spoken word/performance poetry scene in West Africa.

Prior to being a performance poet, Sage, who became a newspaper journalist at 16, and later an artiste management executive in the then burgeoning music industry in Nigeria, he was a special reporter for Ovation, a popular African-focused magazine.

His book ‘Dream Maker‘ is published by Hot Coffee is the story of one man’s pursuit of the wisdom of life in his desire to fulfil his purpose and his quest to impart knowledge in his young ward.

Set in a mythical city created by the historical King Solomon as a centre of learning and development, Baba, an old successful teacher and custodian of universal wisdom, runs a special study camp while overseeing the well-being of his beloved ward, a preposterous lad, who symbolises anyone of us with a hunger to succeed and live a fulfilled life.

The book shows how Baba imparts the underlying principles of universal mastery.

Dream Maker is replete with fables, parables and re-enactments of well-known accounts and stories, all in an attempt to establish the essence of fantasy and its reality redefining power.

All these elements contribute to make the book an interesting read and necessary material  for everyone interested in life galvanising literature.
