About Love in a Time of Nightmares

"In this collection, the anecdotal melds with the experiential.... We encounter verses that serve as a template for the lyrical, the deployment of narratives and folksy idioms that are enchanting. [The] journey motif flutters from Nigeria to Canada, as the author attempts to bridge borders...Otiono offers us a poetic sacrament."-The Sunday Sun "Nduka Otiono is a poet of the musical word...His erudition blends seamlessly with the spoken sacred word of the local lore in poetry that is at once memorable and sophisticated. He wrenches love from the Nigerian nightmare with an uncommon touch at the instance and distance of an alien shore. He breaks bold ground in borderless intercourse, a noble feat that conjures up the landscape and dreamscape of Joseph Brodsky and Pablo Neruda."-Uzor Maxim Uzoatu, award-winning author of God of Poetry "Here are poems to enter into and live in and live by. The personal, the communal, the planetary inhabit these cosmic collages that stylistically stride from oral structures to the architectonics of the written. Nduka Otiono's poetic stance is that of defiant disruption and truth-telling. Read this book and feel the pulse."-Uche Nduka, award-winning author of fourteen volumes of poetry
