This collection is a reawakening that we need to bring them (our literary icons) to the knowledge of this generation so that we can remember the paths we took, if not for anything, but for us to know where we are going, especially in retelling our African stories, our histories, tied, in fragments, to the heroes celebrated herein.
The Them in Me is what—to an extent—is missing in today’s African poetry. And I am quite elated that Oyeleke, through this collection, reminds us what we should do for those who held our hands and walked us through the path to the stardom, and internationality we enjoy today.
This collection of poems is an oeuvre of panegyrics. A song coming from a child’s literary sky to set in the east of his literary gods. The poems carry, not only praises, but prayers and wishes. It is a child, in the famous Achebean proverb, washing clean his hands to dine with elders.
