In this book, Tanure Ojaide explains the uniqueness of modern African poetry, which he sees as a product of African orature and the Western literary tradition. The volume begins with "African Literature and Cultural Identity." The next chapter strives to define modern African poetic aesthetics. The book then examines both the oral and the rhythmic aspects of modern African poetry. Ojaide also takes on the history of the art form, contrasting newer and older poetry while acknowledging the influence of the old on the new. The book then goes on to highlight African women's poetry and compare African-American poetry with modern African poetry. This text will help readers achieve a deeper understanding of the complex and diverse world of modern African poetry.
