Seen through the eyes of Owoicho, a television presenter seeking a better life for himself and his family, Leave My Bones in Saskatoon spans two cultures and continents. It is honest, heartfelt and enlightening. The story begins with good news from Owoicho. He cannot wait to tell his family that their permanent residency application to Canada was successful. But while he was in Abuja, happy about this breakthrough, somewhere in the outskirts of Makurdi, a dark and troubling event threatens to torpedoe all the plans he and his wife, Ene had of moving their family to Saskatoon. We also meet Ochanya, the teenage daughter of Owoicho who has to deal with the twin shock of losing close family and the unavoidable transition from girl to adolescence that pitches her against the people that love and care for her the most. With everything Owoicho and Ochanya have to deal with, do they still make it out to Canada as planned and whose bones are in Saskatoon?

Poetry | Paperback | ISBN: 9781777275693 | Pages: 66
A masterful evocation of past wrongs through the lens of a seductively peaceful present. Amatoritsero Ede”s meditative voice seduces us into a voyeuristic trance on a German river bank. Until we are suddenly awakened to the realisation that the “teardrops” are not for the Weser but for the burden of history carried all the way to Africa and beyond. A compelling read.
– Olive Senior
Here”s poetry at its best. Here’s a collection that astounds with the freshness of its imagery and the ripple and flow of its lyricism. Like the river of its title, it runs non-stop through the reader’s mind. This is a collection to return to over and over again.

$ 24.99By Darlington Chibueze Anuonye and Nduka Otiono
Poetry | Papaerback | ISBN: 9781738699346
The generational debate in Nigerian poetry has been shaped by the interventions of such anthologies as Voices from the Fringes (1988), edited by Harry Garuba, Poets in their Youth (1988), edited Uche Nduka and Ositadinma Ike, Gems Out of Africa: A Wake Anthology of 100 Nigerian Poets (1998), edited by Eddie Ayo-Ojo, Obafemi Obadare and Mac Amarere, and Camouflage: Best of Contemporary Nigerian Writing (2006) edited by Nduka Otiono and Odoh Diego Okenyodo. Featuring the Governor General award-winning Nigerian-Canadian poet, Tolu Oloruntoba, and other notable poets resident in Canadian, Unbound is such an agenda-setting anthology. But more importantly, it is the first anthology to zoom into the works of the emerging generation of Nigerian poets born in the late twentieth century and early twenty-first century. The anthology showcases some of the most brilliant as well as struggling members of the new generation of Nigerian poets under the age of forty, most of whom launched their writing careers on social media.

Waterman
$ 20.99By Echezonachukwu Nduka
Poetry | Papaerback | ISBN: 9781777275617
“Waterman affirms Echezonachukwu Nduka’s stature as an experienced poet. The poems are carefully crafted, highly descriptive, and flow rhythmically. Through the collection, the poet’s experiences of navigating through urban society come alive through images of music, water, and Catholicism. There are keen observations, witty and memorable images, and beautiful philosophical statements that make the poetry reading experience exhilarating. Nduka’s Waterman is versatile and uplifting.” – TANURE OJAIDE
“A wonderfully winding work of a voice matured. Echezonachukwu Nduka’s work is lyrical and the words jump to life on the page.” – ERIN CASTALDI
“As a poet, Echezonachukwu Nduka brings his classical musician’s light and swift hands to the page. In an even, sober voice, these mostly narrative poems open like nocturnes—in slow, deliberate, contemplative, and measured prose until their accents quicken and the reader is caught in a surprising orchestra of metaphors.” – AMATORITSERO EDE
