Previous studies of African poetry have tended to concentrate either on its political content or on its relationship to various European schools. This book examines West African poetry in English and French against the background of oral poetry in the vernacular. Do the roots of such poetry lie in Africa or in Europe? In committing their work to writing, do poets lose more than they gain? Can the immediacy of oral performance ever be recovered? Robert Fraser's account of two centuries of West African verse examines its subjugation to a succession of international styles: from the heroic couplet to the austerity of experimental Modernism. Successive chapters take us through the Négritude movement and the emergence of anglophone free verse in the 1950s to the rediscovery in recent years of the neglected springs of orality, which is the subject of the concluding chapter.

There has not been any thorough stylistic study of Ademola Dasylva's Songs of Odamolugbe and Raji-Oyelade's A Harvest of Laughters. Neither has there been a comparative analysis of the two texts. The present study aims to fill the gap in knowledge by examining the elements of African oral poetic tradition that could be found in the two volumes of poetry. It discusses the thematic and stylistic similarities and differences discoverable in the poems. The methodology adopted for this study is primary research in which the texts are closely read and vigorously analysed using Black aesthetic theory. Materials are sourced from conference papers, textbooks, magazines and the Internet. A detailed elucidation of Dasylva's Songs of Odamolugbe and Raji-Oyelade's A Harvest of Laughters using such African poetic aesthetic yardsticks as language, universality, style, theme, African folklore, African concepts of time and space, African concepts of order and justice, African mystical life, the motif of African cultural defence, the motif of social cohesion, ethical and utilitarian functions of African poetry was carried out.

Cow Republic introduces a personal voice which explores the interplays between traditional formalism and contemporary styles and themes. The collection features themes of the African experience, as well as the clash between the modern and traditional worlds, as references to Google and Coca-Cola appear alongside stories involving the violence of slavery or industry against traditional cultures. Some of the poems which most prominently display these features combine form and content in ways that are traditional but at the same time present intriguing avenues for exploration of what it means to come from a place that is at once historic and contemporary, beautiful and ugly. While typically simple on the surface in terms of structures, narratives, and diction, many of the poems are far more complex than they might initially appear. Flexibility with styles and technique do not interfere with the poetic voice, which remains constant throughout. The subtleties of theme and variation in content and style in poems such as "Nigeria for Sale", "Wake Up Africa", and "Who Are They?" should not be mistaken for lack of imagination, but rather viewed as a sensitive and clever manipulation of stanza, diction, and theme to express ideas that are both highly personal and emotional, and also visual and global. Straightforward yet thought-provoking, with a style at the same time minimalist and complex, this collection offers its reader a dynamic experience, shifting between emotions, values, and cultures, all the while maintaining the integrity of the poetic voice and meaning.
