Silhouette series is an ongoing project by  poet, Nnanna Okpanku in collaboration with Nnebedum Favour Ifechukwu,and Lilian Isih.  He has given us a sneak preview with the first three visual poems: The Runaway Bride, Mirror Mirror on the wall, and  A Stranger.

Silhouette series is one of a kind poetry album  which The Crater Library loves to categorise as Visual Poems. Visual poems are poems accompanied by photographs which capture the essence of the poems.

The poet  ensures his subject matters (words and models) are aligned to capture the feelings he is expressing. Neither deducts from the other, but the well crafted words and breathtaking photography suspend’s the readers’ mind to a plane  where he/she feels and understands the emotions behind each medium.

To mark the 1st year anniversary of Liber Book club, Enugu, Nigeria, its members  wrote They Came To Stay- a collection of short stories. Not that they are amateurs , they are closet writers who have attempted to produce a literary work  commensurate with that of their  model authors.

This e-book does not only contain short stories themed around mermaids or mammywater as its fondly called in Nigeria. It also features the summary of Liber Book club discussions and a cross word puzzle game of all the books the members  have read as a group.

It is hoped that you will be moved to read those books too and attempt the crossword puzzle game.

Frances W. Pritchett writes about how she became interested in Igbo language after meeting and hosting a Nigerian Igbo student.

“In learning about a language one also learns about the culture that produced it–the beliefs, traditions, habits, attitudes, ways of making a living, interpretations of natural surroundings, ideas about marriage, children, etc. I discovered that my Eurocentric education had left me
sadly ignorant about Africa, so I began to educate myself by reading books by African writers. “Things Fall Apart,” by Chinua Achebe, had a great impact on me.I developed a desire to see for myself this milieu that was clearly so different from my own.”

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.
