Description:
Drums of Heart is filled with lyricism and disturbing metaphors. Passion runs throughout the themes of politics and bad leadership, poverty and love. But there is a sense in which one can say that Mature Okoduwa is, finally, a naturalist. He celebrates Nkisi, Nsukka and its environs, with verve and mastetry. Drums of Heart, his second collection of poems after Our Poisoned Love, makes an interesting read. - Austyn Njoku Author of I've Been a Crew
