    About this ebook

    Poetry Is More Than Mere Words, I agree. As a poet I love all poetry verses but the two verses that interest me the most are free and blank verses. The blank verses give me the chance to fill-up their blankness while the free verse gives me the chance to rescue slaves of my thoughts and watch them enjoy freedom.

    The book is a completely fascinating one. It wanders in and out of poetry, puns, self-indulgently shifts in and out of borrowed and invented voices, and is tricky enough that, on re-reading it, you may find lines that take your thought on a wild goose chase in a quest to find answers to the real story behind them.

    The poems very nature seduces life experiences and tries to involute them into the poem in a prosy manner. It toys with solemnity and its covert theme is the joy and sadness of emotions.

    Probably this book is best read in small doses, one or two poems a day. But if you get caught in the web and want it all in one sitting, the freedom from my free verses urges you to go for it!

    Enjoy these poems, and you'll find yourself inspired!

      COMMENTS ON THE BOOK

      Chioma Rosemary Onyekaba is a young, virile, kinetic,

      burgeoning multi-dimensional and talented writer.

      She is quite a revelation, breath-taking, captivating and phenomenal.

      She is undoubtedly one of the most gifted writers of her generation!

      Her work of poetry is penetrating and compelling.

      I commend this work to all students of literature and English Language.

      - Mr. Okoi Obono Obla

      (Senior Special Adviser on Prosecution Matters to

      President Muhammadu Buhari)

      ––––––––

      - This book is highly educating, entertaining and incisive.

      One is not surprised as the author is known to be highly creative

      and attentive to the details of her works.

      A very brilliant combination of Beauty and Brains.

      Indeed, this is a collector’s item.

      - Hon. Ikechukwu Ezeugwu

      (Honorable Speaker, Enugu State House of Assembly)

      ––––––––

      This is a highly commendable work of creativity.

      The poet exudes intellectual quest that surpasses her youth.

      I have no doubt that this collection of poems will be well received

      by the reading public here in Nigeria & beyond. It’s indeed a must read!

      - Dr Ochi Achinivu

      (Fmr. Senior Special Adviser on Economic Matters

      to Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan)

      ––––––––

      In this book, the poet addresses the human community in

      a simple yet touching style, symbolic of nature’s non-complex

      tuition style. From beauty queen to publisher and entrepreneur to poet

      and dramatist all in one, this enterprising

      brain and beauty has taken her stand as a strong voice and muscle

      for her generation.

      -  Mr. Samuel Pepple Amaramiro

      (Director Mobilization, National Youth Service Corp)

      ––––––––

      The Poet’s quest to unveil the unknown even in tough terrains

      make her a unique, exciting individual with limitless capacity

      and capability. Importantly, She is a first grader example

      of positive youth with boundless

      explorative energy who would not hesitate to

      put it to legitimate use.  Keep dominating your environment

      as you exhale the virtues and the talents.

      We expect more.

      - Timbuktoo Media Group

      ––––––––

      The depth with which lucid, pious, and elegant literary dexterity makes

      a natural combination in this anthology evoke Labyrinths of Okigbo

      and thus persuasively draws us close to an elevated platform in literary

      engagement, particularly the serene genre of poetry.

      - Mr Christian
