BLURB
A poetic capture of the vicissitudes of life covering the individual, family and the community at large; the place of mother nature, joyous and sad moments that could lead to depression and death, bemoan of the state of insecurity and rapacious mayhem in Nigeria’s food basket, emotions and anxieties. A personification of triumph, the poet uses her poetry as vehicles of hope and sunshine at the dawn of days. — Eriata Oribhabor (President, Poets in Nigeria)
Back to Nine can be purchased on PIN Online Bookstore for N500.
