This volume powerfully conveys the pilgrimage of a singular spirit through adversity, equanimity, immanence and eventually, transcendence. It grapples with a range of emotions, topics and sensations. Christopher Okigbo achieved similar results but in an entirely different manner. Okigbois vision is epical in its dimensions while Oshais work is infused with a sustained lyricism, mutedness or even more appropriately, quietude. Oshais poetry unveils a multi-layered journey from artistic infancy to complete aesthetic maturity. Most of this journey dwells upon the poetis inner states in which vast geographical vistas are revealed.
