Collected Poems by Chinua Achebe
3.0
‘Collected Poems’ by Chinua Achebe
Book review:
This collection of poetry is divided into four sections: ‘Prologue, Poems about War, Poems not about War and Epilogue’.
I’ve heard a lot of really good things about Chinua Achebe and his previous novels.
With that being said, I felt underwhelmed with this. I don’t know if it’s because this is the first piece of work I’ve read by Chinua Achebe or that I didn’t appreciate the contextual background behind the poems.
At first read, I didn’t feel moved by these collection of poems. I think I may have to read other novels and then come back to this one to really value it.
