This question has been on my mind for a while; I wrote the first few sentences of the essay last year. I was going to send it to a mag and get paid some money. But I am content to have it here.
I guess I’m not the only one who has been thinking about this. In the coda to an introduction to the poetry of younger Nigerian poets like you that I’m currently editing, I offer an answer to your question about the need for purely Nigerian poetry. And I find myself in agreement with many of your summations and judgements. I think it’s time we started reviving our national literary integrity.

Expository and didactic.
Love how detailed this is!
A jolly ride till the end. A brilliant and awakening piece. Thank you. Ernest.
