The Sahara Testaments

The Sahara Testaments, published to critical acclaim in 2013, has become a classic in the poetry of Africa. The quatrains have been described by the scholar Romanus Egudu as a metonymy for the lived realities of the African continent. Encyclopaedic, ambitious and inventive, the volume is replete with poetic charge. The imagination soars and the music ripples across the ages. The scholar, teacher and researcher Nathan Suhr-Systma has remarked upon the quality of the writing and the scope of its ambition while Rotimi Babatunde and Benson Eluma have identified the work as embodying remarkable effort.
