Publisher's Synopsis

The unfolding carnage in his native Niger Delta provides a frame from which Ogaga Ifowodo seeks to mine meaning from the absurd. Ifowodo sings fragments out of the deluge, born of complex and diverse social registers, speaking with a voice robustly universal yet rooted in local lore. The public idiom of Udje performance poetry sits comfortably with a private and intimate rhetoric to generate a muscular, fighting poetry that startles with lyric tenderness.
