CASUALTIES OF DEPRAVITIES AND OTHER POEMS BY FRANCIS EGBOKHARE
PIN CHAPBOOK SERIES 2019
DESCRIPTION
Format: 60 Pages (PDF)
Publisher: Poets in Nigeria (May 25, 2019)
"Casualties of Depravities and other poems captures an attempt to understand the world through poetry. You will see a thread that runs through my academic experience, the disappointment with our intellectual enterprise. In some of the poems, love is expressed while in others, there is a philosophical message that is evolving but by no means definitive. I am still basically trying to make sense of the world. I hope you enjoy the collection which is just the beginning of an odyssey."
Francis O. Egbokhare (May, 2019)
