Poet, photographer, essayist, Uche Nduka considers the making of poetry
the pivotal drive of his life. He attempts to encompass the world
physically and spiritually in each poem he writes and in his words "these poems are questions, celebrations, refusals and prayers that
hopefully will move from my being to other hearts". He has several
published anthologies and has travelled widely across the USA, Europe
and Africa lecturing and presenting his poetry.

your turn
& your turn & your turn
words too heavy for a page
& we smell of sex & holy tome
wielding a mist at dusk
whatever has eaten that grain
& whatever has licked that soup
surfacing heaving surging
crevice &
globe & seasoning
words too hard for a template
& we
