Title: THE MINERS Author: PAUL CHIWUDE IWUNWA Genre: POETRY No. of Pages: 41 Year: 2022
“
Each poem in The Miners speaks metaphorically, transversing the length of free verse and traditional rhyme to take us into uncharted territories with the propinquity to excite and unravel issues we murmur about but are too scared to utter. The poems articulate a myriad of issues such as bad governance, tyranny, loss, reincarnation, religious bigotry, and the universal themes of hope, steadfastness, and self-esteem.
