I want to write about what I read when – in rare times like this when I have all the time in the world to myself – I get the luxury of contemplating sweet, literary stuff rather than bury my head in the tedium of long linguistic theories. If I were to compile a list of recommendations of things to read to a friend – Nigerian or not, this would be a tentative list. There are very many more.
Poems
Suicide Notes. Poems by Dami Ajayi in Maple Tree Literary Supplement Issue 8.
Letter Home by Afam Akeh in MTLS Issue 2 is a long poem that haunts, and soothes.
Mayakovsky by Peter Akinlabi.
Three Poems by Obemata in Sentinel Nigeria Issue #5
