But the poets now tell their stories, declaring: “We are here. Our norms and values are valid.” The target audience for this anthology is anyone, regardless of geographical location and social identity or stratum, who is interested in Nigerian lives and experiences—whether at home or in the diaspora—as they manifest in elegant poetry. Read in a chain, the poems sound like the everyday voices around us: the maturing teenager who discovers another shape to love, the father’s empathic response to the son’s youthful inquisitions, voices from war-torn places, people expressing joy and grief and angst and fortitude in a dystopic postcolonial state.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Narrative Landscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48468065517820,"sku":null,"price":15000.0,"currency_code":"NGN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/4385\/8684\/files\/Unbound-Cover.png?v=1775780868"},{"product_id":"wahala","title":"Wahala","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Corbel',sans-serif;\"\u003eWahala \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Corbel',sans-serif;\"\u003efirst came to life as a fully-scripted\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ework twenty years ago in my student days at the University of Ibadan. It was a bearded and bespectacled young man’s revolt against conformity, a search for meaning, a toast to love, a damnation of increased fees and draconian policies, a celebration of comradeship over literary banter and beers, a frown at the regimes that treated Nigerians like common denominators in the 90s, an ode to silence, anger and shock at the dramas that just never seemed to end.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Narrative Landscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48468065812732,"sku":null,"price":3000.0,"currency_code":"NGN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/4385\/8684\/files\/Wahala-Cover_8a24c453-981c-4615-be91-5369e04298ee.png?v=1775780737"},{"product_id":"wreaths-for-a-wayfarer","title":"Wreaths For A Wayfarer","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Corbel',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: #0C00; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eThese 267 original poems by 127 poets from 4 continents celebrate Pius Adesanmi, reflect philosophically on existence, mortality, and immortality, and\/or offer hope for the living.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Narrative Landscape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48468066369788,"sku":null,"price":6000.0,"currency_code":"NGN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/4385\/8684\/files\/WFAW-Cover.png?v=1775780489"},{"product_id":"contraband-bodies","title":"Contraband Bodies","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Corbel',sans-serif;\"\u003eContraband Bodies \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Corbel',sans-serif;\"\u003eis a debut to be reckoned\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003ewith. Jide Salawu shines in this personal record of diaspora and a country lost to precarious politics. Mourning home, Salawu deploys gritty language, razor-edge imagery, decolonial poetics, and granular details to highlight the diverse circumstances of being a Black migrant in Africa and beyond. Salawu meditates on the agony of Atlantic memories and dispersal, confronting new forms of digital kinship. He creates a unique catalogue of images that map the migratory routes from the village to the city, within continental Africa, and across different diasporic landscapes. He builds on a solid canon of migration and mobility in African poetry and brings forward a powerful, new, diasporic poetic voice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Narrative Landscape","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50972362309884,"sku":null,"price":10000.0,"currency_code":"NGN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/4385\/8684\/files\/CB_Cover_1.png?v=1786558130"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0774\/4385\/8684\/collections\/book-cover-gradientArtboard-4.png?v=1786054237","url":"https:\/\/narrativelandscape.com\/collections\/poetry.oembed","provider":"Narrative Landscape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
