By Dr. Michael Mbabuike
In this second volume of his poems, Mbabuike appears much more confident and makes much bolder observations and proclamations. However, the touch of the griot, as well as the whaling of an exile can still be seen in his work. “I salute absurdity and life’s contradictions,” the author asserts in the prologue to this collection. “My poems are loud silent laments that soothe, heal and protect from rough onslaughts of various and varied ideologies that for centuries have militated against peoples and human decency.”
