Poetry. African-Studies. With the publication of 25 NEW NIGERIAN POETS, Ishmael Reed's publishing company continues its commitment to new and politically relevant writers. In the introduction, Toyin Adewale writes that the literary renaissance joyfully announced by Harry Garuba in his introduction to VOICES FROM THE FRINGE, the anthology of 100 young Nigherian poets published in 1988 is today non-existent. The intervening decade between 1999 and now was burdened by the military regimes of General Ibrahim Babangida and General Sanni Abacha. The decade beheld the betrayal of our political will, the annulment of the June 1993 elections, the murder of human rights and political activists including the former president of the Association of Nigerian Authors, Ken Saro Wiwa. Nevertheless, because lack of publishing avenues is one of the starkest results of this turmoil, Adewale finds a sliver of hope in the existence of this very book, which she calls an appetizer to further reading in Nigerian lit

Labyrinths is the celebrated collection of Christopher Okigbo's most renowned poems which cemented his reputation as one of Nigeria's greatest poets. In this powerful collection, Okigbo's renowned talent is showcased in vivid clarity as each poem draws the reader into an arresting world of myth and contemplation – a maze of spiritual homecomings, divine dreams, and the long-drums of the dead. Including Paths of Thunder, his final and most famous sequence of poems that prophesised a nation overcome by war. Written shortly before he was killed in the Nigerian-Biafran War, Okigbo predicted his own death and left behind a legacy as a leading figure of postcolonial poetry. 'The finest Nigerian poet of his generation [and] one of the most remarkable anywhere in our time. Chinua Achebe 'There are poets who have a magical presence in the literature of their lands... Christopher Okigbo is one such poet.' Ben Okri 'One of the genuine renaissance people of our generation.' Wole Soyinka

Nation, Power and Dissidence in Third Generation Nigerian Poetry in English is a theoretical and analytical survey of the poetry that emerged in Nigeria in the 1980s. Hurt into poetry, the poets collectively raise aesthetics of resistance that dramatises the nationalist imagination bridging the gap between poetry and politics in Nigeria. The emerging generation of poetic voices raises an outcry against the repressive military regimes of the 1980s and 1990s. Ingrained in the tradition of protest literature in Africa, the third-generation poetry is presented here as part of the cultural struggles that unseat military despotism and envisage a democratic society.

In 2010, billions of naira were spent to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Nigeria's independence since 1960. More naira are to be spent in 2014 to commemorate the centenary marking the nation's birth in 1914 from an amalgamation of diverse group of peoples, languages, cultures and expectations. As the conscience of the nation, writers are calling for a deeper introspection. A hundred years after unification, the most populous African nation has oscillated from being great to being fickle, from colony to independence and dependency, from peace to war to ungraceful insecurity, from military dictatorship to civilian oppression and profligacy and much more of the many contradictions of a complex national polity. In this special collection Poems for a Century: An Anthology on Nigeria, poets from different backgrounds, generations and persuasions explore what it means to be a citizen of this unique African country. Shifting from despair to hope, lamentation to happiness, condemnation to adoration and every gamut of sensibilities imaginable, the contributors reiterate the notion of engagement and the power of the written word to push for social change in their beloved nation. In fifty poems, Nigeria becomes the muse not just to raise questions about its past experiences and present contexts, but also to posit aspirations for a better nation.
