Day 7: ‘
Collected Poems’ by Christopher Okigbo
A highly spiritual, thoughtful and thought-provoking collection of poems by one of Nigeria’s greatest poets. One of the aspects encouraged by @theSealeyChallenge is the opportunity to discover poets that I haven’t read before and Christopher Okigbo is one such poet. Including some of his most renowned poems from ‘Labyrinths’ sandwiched between older and newer poems, the final poem is his prophecy of war written shortly before his death. The poet paints dreamy imagery often accompanied by the music of his lands.
