River Plains of Memories

Dike Okoro writes poetry that doesn't restrain itself to merely interesting reading but keeps our intellect awake with the realities of present-day Africa and its diaspora. This is a book that needs to be read for the joy of poetry and its aesthetic possibilities-Tanure Ojaide, Frank Porter Graham Professor of Africana Studies The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USADike Okoro's poetry is a firm testimony that the home has remained disturbingly loud in him. Whether the poet is yearning for his now distant non-human natural environment or lamenting over the suffocation of the people by the ersatz of neo- colonial rulers, his deployment of imagery is superb and lavishly sophisticated.Joseph A. Ushie, PhD Dean, Faculty of Arts, University of Uyo, Nigeria
