Description

In eel on reef, Uche Nduka challenges every expectation of an African poet. His unique voice is a heady amalgam of Christopher Okigbo, A.R. Ammons, John Ashbery, Kamau Brathwaite, and that which only Nduka can bring.

Uche Nduka was born and raised in Nigeria. His published books include Flower Child, Second Act, and Chiraoscuro (winner of the Association of Nigerian Authors Poetry Prize in 1997). He lives in Bremen, Germany.
