Its verses are arranged in three main styles, rhythmic quartets/quatrains, iambic sonnets and a few long verses that culminate in an ode sung to African literary juggernaut, Chinua Achebe. The theme of the poems range from a nationalist’s broken patriotism through exuberant teenage flings to somber vituperations of death, like Love is strong as death.It’s a work that subtly draws on its reader and reminds one of a young Wole Soyinka’s Idanre.
