Some sordid episodes are better conveyed through metaphors, which constitute the heart and breath of poetry. In any case, whether public or personal, social or private, poetry is the best medium to express the sludge of pain that mounts the floor of our hearts. When we scream through images, we vent our murky mood and send cathartic impulse to the public; in this case, the anguished majority in a distressed society mirror their depleting worth of being from the canvases of poems. This knowledge of human denigration may prepare the ground for a righteous rage... In Rumbling Sky, one encounters a disconcerting language of the inward- the loud echoes of choking pains and the silent whispers of hope. Though most of the poems in this collection were written in a harrowing season of political recklessness and human depreciation in Nigeria, they foreground universal challenges, which bestride the sociopolitical, private and domestic domains of any nation that defames morality and humanity in the altar of politics, ethnicity and religion. The poems in Rumbling Sky, therefore, underscore the horrid realities of our contemporary world- from political arrogance and irresponsibility; incessant homicides and raging insecurity; endemic ignorance and spinelessness; hypocrisy, betrayal and the depressing rhythm of economic recession. Many of the poems clearly resent the exaltation of wealth and power over decency and humanity.
