Title: Facing You
Description: "FACING YOU is a collection of love lyrics, as well as an exploration of what goes into making the public and private self, from acclaimed Nigerian American poet Uche Nduka. Passionate and erotic, FACING YOU nonetheless resists being hermetically sealed within the relationship, and is subject to the intrusions of "the dubious world": war, exile, protest, and police violence intrude but cannot defeat Nduka's expressions of desire, where reality and surreality are one. "These poems were written openly and freely about my vision and experience," he writes, "crossing the wires of sex and prophecy.""--
