As one of the most important Nigerian poets who continue to write the
nation in verse, Yeibo, in this fifth collection of poems, has
strategically fashioned a kind of poetry that does not only derive its
idiom from the prosody and folk tradition of the Izon of Nigeria, it
equally advances the poet's vision through form and structure. His
recourse to folklore and reliance on oral materials in the image making
process gives coherence and form to the poems. However, what
distinguishes this collection from the previous ones is the question of
the form through which he demonstrates an intense awareness of the
Nigerian experience.
