BOOK SUMMARY:
As I Stroke My Chin Hairs is a collection of poems that takes readers inside the mind of a Nigerian millennial whose philosophy must compete with ever-changing societal values and internal turmoil. Written over a period of 5 years, the book deals with a rainbow of contemporary topics – love, identity, self, death, and politics – and succeeds in stimulating the mind.
BLURB:
As I Stroke my Chin Hairs might seem just like a poet’s testament to his personal experiences. It has done more than that. It uses the poet as a backdrop to discuss bigger social and political issues, delving into topics of identity, life, nationalism, love, and adolescence. The chapbook has poems that are rooted in Nigerian politics, poems that lament the anxiety of growing up, poems that glorify love and still yet scorn it, subjective poems that recount the poet’s identity and his bidding to come to terms with his different shades of personality.
