Niyi Osundare

“A remarkable first collection by a poet who loves his country but is fearlessly angry at its several flaws.  Its range is wide, the geography of its thought and feelings remarkably extensive.  These are poems which denounce Africa’s myriad socio-political evils without sacrificing the importance of humour and possibilities of hope.  We wade through the tide of these poems to a vision of an Africa peopled with patriots.”
