Libri di Adaeze Christlene Nwankwo

The desire to make poetry is a consequence of a way of life, of facing reality with the force, passion and tenacity that belongs to every poet, of seeing beyond the surface of things, of grasping hidden truths, of discovering the flavors and scents of familiar places and of expressing personal feelings. The purpose of this collection is precisely to push the reader to a deep reflection of himself and the world around him, through the eyes of a young woman, first full of hope for life, and then disillusioned as she grew older and became aware of the reality of a male-dominated society, always ready to belittle and exploit the experiences and abilities of young women. The direct transmission of impulsive or reasoned sensations is frequent and widespread in the collection that, therefore, highlights an instinct and a genuineness trait of her poetic vein. "How do you spell love without fire? How do you measure passion without thunder? How do you spell me, without you?" "I'm not your modern girl. I'm the replica of my mother's relic. The unfolding story of centuries of her truth, caged, forged and submerged in history of censored and broken spirit."
