Stars Die
The poems here reflect the
poet’s inner world and the eternal struggle balance in the
outer. They embody the vision of a better society and
demonstrate a critical awareness of the socio-political
problems of contemporary Nigeria.
The appeal of Emeka Agbayi’s poetry is its accessibility and
fortrightness. Agbayi’s unpretentious diction serves as a
fit vehicle for the expression of his often keen and
penetrating insight, gives his poetry a disarming charm,
grace and nakedness.

The Rediscovery of Tradition: Uli and the Politics of Culture
 Focusing
on the uli heritage of the Igbo of south-eastern Nigeria,
this book takes a fresh look at the work of traditional
women painters from the region and its influence on the work
of some modern Nigerian artists, especially those trained
at, or associated with, the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
Through its rich, eclectic contents and the epochal
exhibition which it commemorates, it aims to draw attention
to the immense potentials of uli beyond the «ivory tower »
of high art where it appears to have run its course in the
last 30 years.
