Description

Still harnessing the raw energy of his prodigious talent, and with poet Adonis as chief guiding spirit on form, Umar Sidi offers a must-read first collection that will quickly establish his name and place in Nigerian poetry and beyond.
AFAM AKEH

The images are vivid and the narrative is exciting. These, alongside the playfulness and linguistic glitter, distinguish The Poet of Dust as one in which both the public and the private worlds of poetry are seamlessly blended in a language at once fresh, sensual, and sophisticated.
ISMAIL BALA

Umar is a child and teacher at the same time in his writing. He is a mortal and an immortal being, fluidly transcending through the burdens of mystery. It is impossible not to enjoy his work.
