His recourse to folklore and reliance on oral materials in the image making process gives coherence and form to the poems. However, what distinguishes this collection from the previous ones is the question of the form through which he demonstrates an intense awareness of the Nigerian experience.Poetry (Ibadan, Nigeria)Nigerian poetry (English)21st centuryNigeriaPoetryElectronic books.Nigerian poetry (English)821Yeibo Ebi1026850MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460766603321The fourth masquerade2441991UNINA
