The Poet of Dust by Umar Abubakar Sidi.
‘At first reading, the first impression that a reader gets from the collection, is to agree with Richard Ali Author, City of Memories, who says in his forward: “…this epic testamentary, borrowing heavily from Jewish, Christian, Islamic and contemporary secular imagery, bristling with a hundred fresh images. Umar Abubakar Sidi reaffirms the primacy of the poet as philosopher…” The poem is a not just a coming of age poem, it is also a quest. The poet persona starts with the search for self-awareness in the Peninsula of Poets section, and ends it in the Poetic manifesto section, where he starts to share his own knowledge.’
Review: The Poet of Dust
‘In the end, “The Poet of Dust” is not an ode, love poetry, an epic or a sonnet. If you are looking for poem to excite, inflame or entertain, you are better off seeking alternative pursuits, but if you want to go on a journey, an experience, where you come out with more questions than answer on the nature of the world and the creative endeavor, then Abubakar Umar Sidi’s The Poet of Dust” is the collection to pick up.’
