Teardrops on the Weser
$ 20.99By Amatoritsero Ede
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.
– Helon Habila, Award-winning, novelist and poet.

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

Wish Maker
$ 24.99By Uchechukwu Peter Umezurike
Juvenile Fiction (Chapter Book) | Hardcover | ISBN: 9781738699377
Ebele wishes he and his widowed mother would have a memorable Christmas with lots of presents. With his mother barely able to afford food and his friends mocking him, Ebele is afraid that he might not get any presents at all. When a strange man comes to town, Ebele opens his heart and home reluctantly. In return, the stranger teaches him there is more to Christmas than just gifts and that kindness is a virtue rewarded by great fortune.
WISH MAKER tells the story of Ebele, a 9-year-old boy whose widowed mother can’t afford to grant his wish for a bicycle. His friends cannot wait to show off their Christmas presents to Ebele, and they delight in making fun of him because he and his mother are poor. Unable to stand their taunting, Ebele considers hiding indoors during Christmas but meets a quirky, annoying, smelly stranger who claims to be an angel. The stranger, however, makes him realize his wish could come true only if they went fishing in the river where his father died. WISH MAKER is a blend of magic and realism set during Christmas week in a riverine village in southeast Nigeria. By turns sad and funny, it explores themes such as peer pressure, fear, kindness, hope, courage, and friendship.
