Praise and Poems
“An unflinching look at life rooted in a West African childhood and embracing urban England… poetry and prose lightly peppered with Igbo words and phrases. These vignettes, facts and dreams, with a rich cast of characters, confront us with a spectrum of human experience in vivid, succinct language.” — Chris Fewings, poet and literary organiser
Pumpkin moon
‘Am I following it?’
Pumpkin lodged in Omoba sky.
My young fanny tampered
by Uncle Innocent’s paws.
On frayed mat, nicotine-tinged room;
I wriggle, bewildered —
my movements spellbound.
I imagine, the magic of strange
coloured glow. Pumpkin moon
reaches into my soul, transports
me from life’s gaudy gloom.
