Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Poems Written Before Jumping into a Lagos Lagoon" is a Molotov cocktail of verse, a searing mosaic of urban chaos, postcolonial disillusionment, and existential defiance.From the explosive opener "Machine Gun Poetry" to the last, "Man in California", the collection interrogates identity, v…iolence, loss, resistance, absurdity, Irony, love, death, survival, personal hauntings, social decay, diasporic invention, and the fragile tethers of sanity in the vibrant fever-dream city of Lagos. Works like "When I saw my Daddy Dead on a Gurney"- a devastating elegy that etches grief into flesh and language, "The Killing of Solomon Olayoriju"- a piece that ponders the fragility of normalcy in the face of chaos, "Iroko" and "Chief" are pieces that deal with loss following the assassination of the poet's father in Lagos. "Shrapnel" and "Countryman" root struggle in cultural memory, celebrating defiance as ancestral inheritance.From the violence and mob justice of "The Gutter is a Lonely Place" to militarized corruption in "The Soldiers at Apple Junction", to "Good News While Shaving", the poet's voice-raw, irreverent, and hauntingly lyrical-oscillates between satire and aching vulnerability, between the visceral and the metaphysical. With its wild energy, paradise is lived in works like "Pineapple" and "A beach in Portugal" This is protest poetry rooted in hyper-local Nigerian contexts, yet resonating universally. A defiant love letter to a city and world that bends its people - yet still births their fiercest songs. This item is printed on demand.
