<blockquote><p><strong><em>Grief on Painted Sheets is a permanent proof</em></strong> that grief cannot gag creativity, even as the beauty of poetic expressions cannot dull pain or relegate tears. As you read this collection, expect the unexpected, because the pain-propelled train of thoughts in this collection will launch you into the center of mourning and keeps the screams of the victims echoing.</p></blockquote>

<p style="text-align: right;"><strong><em>Grief on Painted Sheets’</em></strong> is the reaction of Nigerian poets to the killings in Nigeria. In this collection, words came to life in livid lines and veracious verses and truncated the silent injustice – lyrics became tissues to dab sorrow-laden faces as poetry sought to become lullabies for eyes scared of sleep and dirges on the bedhead of those laid to eternal sleep.</p>
