About the book

The new voices of Africa are a clear example of the break with the idyllic traditions of the country's old songs. This collection of poems epitomises that new voice - a voice speaking of political tyranny and elaborating more complex themes than the old standard of white rule and colonial Christianity. Included too are tender family moments, metaphysical speculation and nostalgic reminiscence, wrapped up with a typically detached Nigerian humour and presented in a way that provokes reflection as well as laughter.
