About this book
This collection brings contemporary Nigerian poetry into focus, bridging the gap between celebrated masters like Wole Soyinka and Christopher Okigbo and the dynamic voices emerging in the 21st century. It features fifteen essays, offering fresh perspectives on the intersection of poetry and political dissidence, responses to terrorism, the poetics of trauma and healing, questions of national identity, and peace-building through poetic expression.
