Klaus Stierstorfer asked the legitimate question: “Law and (which?) Literature: New Directions in Post-Theory?” This article on law and its romance with literature argues that theorizing the literary landscapes leads to interdisciplinary discoveries in cultural studies, law and literature. Consequently, the article uses capture theory (2019) to trace intersections between Wole Soyinka’s poetry and law. The interdisciplinary interpretations and the new focus in understanding the poetry of Wole Soyinka answer Stierstorfer’s obvious question on “Post-Theory” or “Theory After Theory” and the search for broad borderlines between law and poetry. The conspiracy of interdependency notwithstanding, poetry’s legal autonomy and its limits in literature is affirmed by this article. Legal autonomy validates the Idoma saying, ogo ta gole ape, ape ta gole ogo—a harmony between the two extremes.
