Rapper, essayist, poet and playwright Ifesinachi Nwadike has revealed that his debut publication ‘How Morning Remembers the Night’ is now on sale.
The collection of poetry which was jointly published by Winepress Publishing and GriotsLounge Publishing captures the author’s journey on the streets of memory according to a press release by Winepress Publishing.
“Night, a debut poetry collection by Ifesinachi Nwadike, will be joining our already impressive list of publications later this year”
“He voyages into houses filled with grief and those filled with polithievians — a word coined for corrupt politicians—like an expert navigator. This collection of poetry leaves the reader enthralled by how the poet paints images with words, spellbinding his readers”
“The poet also weaves emotive lines for lovers to savour as he takes the reader on a trip full of heartbreaks and near-misses in his recollections. In the last poem, he fittingly ends the book with “May rose flowers bloom on the road that crossed our paths”; a tribute to a love so close, so real, but now a memory. This is a fascinating collection broken into parts but all connected to a general theme — personal and collective grief”
Winepress Publishing further revealed that ‘How Morning Remembers the Night’ is their first joint publication with GriotsLounge Publishing having gone into a partnership that will allow both firms cover the literary landscape in Nigeria.
“We recently entered into a partnership with GriotsLounge to allow for both our publishing houses to pool resources together to better cover the literary landscape in Nigeria. How Morning Remembers the Night is the first child of this partnership”
Ifesinachi Nwadike’s works had previously appeared in Ake Review, ANA Review, The Sun Review, Praxis Magazine, Ngiga Review, Black Boy Review, African Writer and a host of other credible magazines.
The 68 pages book is available for sale online on GriotsLounge Publishing’s website, www.griotslounge.com and at reputable bookshops nationwide later this year.
