FROM THE PUBLISHER - Tanure Ojaide - 1987 Africa regional winner of the African Commonweath Poetry Prize, and 1988 winner of the All-Africa Okigbo Prize for poetry and the BBC Arts and Africa Poetry Prize - is a leading member of the new generation of African poets. His simple rhythmical poems are presented in three separate sections - Verdicts, the Blood of Peace and the Warrior's Trail. Ojaide's melodic style lends a disguise to a deep-rooted political content, and the collection ultimately calls for all Nigerians, and Africans, to stand firm against corruption and demand their rights. `strong, supple, various, colorful, moving, invariably interesting. .' - Hayden Carruth, veteran American poet. `I personally regard him (Ojaide) as perhaps the most important voice in the generation of African writers following Chinua Achebe and Wole Soyinka.' - Joseph Bruchac, The Greenfield Review Literary Center. inventory #17918.
