About this Item

Paperback. Uche Nduka utilizes his experimental poetic style in newly urgent and intimate thematic directions, exploring unfamiliar archipelagos of pleasure and belonging. He evokes the foggy vistas of the Pacific Northwest in a manner one might consider diaristic and nearly confessional, except the poet assures us in an interview: I don t keep a journal. I just have various small notebooks where I write down stray lines, observations, ideas. I write in scraps. Scraptures! "Sheltering with his wife and child on Washington State's Bainbridge Island during a global pandemic, the poet as political surrealist considers themes of isolation and connection in the most personal terms using his unique brand of explosive abstraction to carve out a space to explore the meaning of home, family, and diaspora"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

I just have various small notebooks where I write down stray lines, observations, ideas. I write in scraps. Scraptures!”
