Description
Award-winning poet Uche Nduka challenges every expectation of an African writer. His unique voice is an amalgam of Christopher Okigbo, A.R. Ammons, John Ashbery, Kamau Brathwaite and something only Nduka can bring. In reading his poetry, the reader is encouraged to enjoy each instant and each image, while resisting the instinct to construct linear meaning. Nduka is acutely aware of his landscape and the politics of his world as an African poet. With an introduction by Kwame Dawes.
