## Ọrụ edemede
After reading the works of J. P. Clarke and Christopher Okigbo, Ipadeola started writing poetry himself in 1990, and he says it took him 10–12 years of consistent practice to master the craft. His first collection was published in 1996. His second collection was *A Time of Signs* (2000). He self-published his third collection of poems, *A Rain Fardel*, in 2005. Ipadeola has also translated two classical Yoruba novels, by Daniel Fagunwa, into English: *The Divine Cryptograph* (*Aditu*); and *The Pleasant Potentate of Ibudo* (*Ireke Onibudo*), both in 2010, but they remain unpublished. In 2012 he translated W. H. Auden's first dramatic work *Paid on Both Sides* into Yoruba as *Lamilami*.
