In this collection, Nigerian poet Tanure Ojaide adopts the persona of a homeboy griot returning from travels to be confronted by the devastation wrought by oil greed, politics, and technology upon his beloved Niger Delta; its environment, civilisation and people.

Angry, elegiac and lyrical, this collection allows the reader insight far beyond the reach of journalism or prose.
