Memento: An Anthology of Contemporary Nigerian Poetry edited by Adedayo Agarau

Softcover

Nigeria – a country of contrasts. Incredible beauty. Incredible pain. Love, loss, facelessness and the struggle for identity. From this study in contrasts comes a collection of poems from established and emerging contemporary Nigerian voices. Surprising, bittersweet, lilting, angry, and mournful in turn, this anthology captures the vast poetic talent that has its roots in Nigeria’s soil.
