This anthology (collated over a 10-year period) is written with the sole aim of reawakening the diminishing appreciation of poetry and to rekindle its glowing passion. The poems have been carefully selected and arranged into four (4) parts – poems on societal consciousness, love and other emotions, nature and spiritual poems. It contains poems for all aspects of life—spirit, soul and body – making it an ageless book with its true verses built to feed all aspects of our shared humanity. So read, ring, meditate and fill your soul with pleasant melodies.

In this book, the writer mirrors the Idema community, its poor level of development, and state of economic decadence, caused by the negligence of the Government. The writer also attributes its state to the activities of oil companies that exploit the resources of their host communities and leave them bare-handed to fend-off the fierce beast of poverty and underdevelopment.
Using metaphors and outright allusions, the writer highlights the Niger-Delta struggle, and the richness of a state saddled with perversion and deprivation. The writer also traces the historical pedigree of the NYSC scheme, while emphasising its lofty objectives and x-raying the chasm between these ideals and reality.

A Book of Three Plays consists of three One-Act plays. The author, Ifedimma Onwugbufor shines light on girl-child marriage through the dialogues in her one – act plays.
This Thing Called Love: Memuna’s ready acceptance of Elder Razak, a sixty-year old man, is borne out of frustration induced by her family. This she divulges to them when it is almost late. Was she really ready to be the old man’s bride at 13? Many very young females caught in such web usually make daring decisions in their bid to extricate themselves from the mess. A child will always be a child.
Song of an Owl: Tramples on the ideology of marriages involving two women. This social practice embodies a complication that erodes the 21st century socio-political strata of the Igbo society. Young girls who become pregnant by unwilling males, are mostly married into such circumstances, and the consequence encompasses Ifeoma’s situation when she becomes married to Obiageli solely for procreation. By this arrangement, Ifeoma is robbed of her future as her ambition and survival are dependent on her subservience to her female ‘husband’; and most probably, on the goodwill of the inappropriate or undesirable men who are brought to copulate with her by her female ‘husband’.
My Lane and Yours: Tells the story of superstition of Maami who visits her only granddaughter, Toke Douglas and her young husband, Boma Douglas in Lagos. Toke had been delivered of a new baby and Maami’s one month stay with the Douglases is disrupted by Maami’s constant meddling which wears the new couple out.
