Like a Starry Night Sky

Selected Poems

by Obinna Chilekezi

In Like a Starry Night Sky the poet's words dance across the page like celestial bodies in the dark night sky. This collection of poems is the author's journey through the vast expanse of human experience, exploring themes of love, loss, hope, and wonder. With lyrical language and evocative imagery, the poet invites his readers to gaze up at the stars and find meanings from the universe.

This collection invokes passion as the poems underline the author's compelling passion which are held together by motifs of the African pastoral landscape and rivers. He employs imagery and simple diction to convey his love on the wings of time. His lines echo Neruda.
