Publisher's Synopsis
"In Clothe Me, Memory, Dike Okoro establishes himself as a fresh and strong voice in contemporary African poetry. He expresses his keen observations, reminiscences of people, places, and times, and pays tributes to heroic personages of our time. The poetry flows with stunning images. The poet's concern for the Niger Delta and its oil resources as well as his adulation of heroes such as Mandela and Claude Ake bring out the best out of his poetic repertoire. Okoro's poetry is mature and offers the reader thoughts and feelings dear and relevant to our times. He stands out among my favorite younger poets and he surely deserves the attention of poetry readers and lovers." - Tanure Ojaide, scholar and poet, Frank Porter Graham Professor of Africana Studies, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, NC, USA.
