Review
Okoro's poetry is mature and offers the reader thoughts and feelings dear and relevant to our times. He stands out among my favorite younger poets and he surely deserves the attention of poetry readers and lovers. --TANURE OJAIDE, Frank Porter Graham Professor of Africana Studies (Scholar-Poet) The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA.
Dike Okoro's poems [are] full of wistful dreams for a non-geographic fatherland...He is a socially engaged poet with a gift of the absence of hectoring. In his work you will find a truckload of realism leavened with economic flights of magic, of breathing and smelt and felt earth, and of musical genesis, for indeed music is his true gifts. You hear spasmic echoes of the late Jewish master of verse Yehuda Amichai, locked in a riddim beat dialogue with Newk, also known as Sonny Rollins. Dig him. If only fer ya sanity. --BONGANI MADONDO Author of Sigh the Beloved Country and Poetry Critic, The Johannesburg Review of Books.
