About the Book
About the Book
This volume is based on essays presented at the international conference on D.O. Fágúnwà held in Akure, Nigeria, in August 2013. It situates Fágúnwà’s work in broad intellectual and disciplinary contexts, viewing literary creation as both a distillation of a variety of disciplines and an ongoing conversation with them. Born 1903 in Òkè-Igbó, Ondo State, to Christian convert parents, Fágúnwà is universally recognised as one of the most well-known figures in the pioneering generation of African writers, although he did not write extensively in any of the African Europhonic languages employed by other famous writers. A visionary author and intellectual, Fágúnwà was concerned with making a ‘special contribution to the literary history of the world’.

MOONGLOW and Other Poems By Christopher Okigbo
Seller: GrammyBooks“…He was not only the finest poet of his generation but I believe that as his work becomes better and more widely known in the world he will also be recognised as one of the most remarkable anywhere in our time…”
– Chinua Achebe“I am an Okigbo evangelist… Christopher Okigbo is a great poet whose lines everybody should know by heart. They are tremendously beautiful.”
Celebrated writer and winner of the Booker Prize for Fiction.- Ben Okri“Steeped alike in Western Modernist aesthetics andmyth -making traditions of his Igbo background, he fused worlds with an assurance that married lyric and epic, audacity and grace. This collection… will remind existing readers of Okigbo’s prowess and dazzle new ones.”
Literary editor of The Independent and former judge of the Booker Prize, and Commonwealth Prize.-Boyd TonkinSKU: n/a
