Description: THE POET OF WITNESS is a searing collection of poems that bears testimony to the tragedies and triumphs etched into the soul of a nation. With piercing honesty and lyrical grace, this collection delves into the haunting silence surrounding the Chibok girls, the devastating toll of herdsmen attacks, the defiant cries of the EndSARS protests, and the unrelenting grip of hardship on the everyday Nigerian. More than a poet, the writer becomes a witness—standing at the crossroads of grief and resistance, memory and hope. Each poem is a testament, a refusal to forget, and a call to awaken. The Poet of Witness speaks for the unheard, mourns the missing, and resists the erasure of truth through the power of verse.
