| About UCHE NDUKA |
|
The idea for this aural nook came into existence between the arms of the sun and twilight.BOOKS,GUITARS,drums,
maracas,voices,thunderclaps and thoughtwaves have remained its mainstay.He is not a band.He is just a poet dipping in and out of gigs and writing sessions fugitively. Whether from the pulsing sidewalks of Lagos,on the cobbled streets of Bremen,the canal-matrixed Amsterdam,or the frenetic boroughs of New York,this enchanting poet has intrigued and solaced readers and listeners worldwide with his words and music.To a trouble-filled world he posits peace and creativity.
His published poetry books include eel on reef(Akashic Books,New York,2007) Flower Child(Update Communications,Lagos,1988),Second Act(Journoblues,Lagos,1994),The Bremen Poems(Newleaf Press,Bremen,1995;English/German Bilingual Edition,Yeti Press,Bremen, 1999),Chiaroscuro(which won the Association of Nigerian Authors Poetry Prize for 1997;Yeti Press,Bremen)If Only The Night(Sojourner Press,Amsterdam,2002),Heart's Field(Yeti Press,Bremen,2005)His first prose book titled Belltime Letters(NewLeaf Press,Bremen) appeared in 2000.Until recently,Nduka was a Literature Lecturer at the University of Bremen(Germany).Some of his writings have been translated into German,Dutch,French,Serbo-Croatian.If you are interested in ordering the books,make contact through Info@akashicbooks.com,Yetipress@aol.com,Amazon.com,Barnes and Noble,Tesco,and bookshops near you.CHECK OUT THE BLOGS FOR HIS LATEST POEMS.
