Genre: Poetry Paperback: $10.49 Kindle: $5.49 Audible Read a sample! Why do the maggots don a spectral bite, feasting on the decaying heart of our world? The sediment carries the essence of blood through the Cache Creek drainage basin, tainted by the relentless gnawing of the maggots' dark society. The maggots transform from mere decomposers into creatures with a sinister bite, embodying the decay that plagues our world. The Teeth of Maggots melds the macabre with the mystical, drawing on the mysticism of African deities who contribute to the rot and corruption of the environment and politics. Through dark imagination and poetic exploration, these verses unveil a world where the decay is both a process and a profound force, driven by ancient gods and festering societal flaws. ____________________________________ "The verses evoke a haunting connection between the physical world and the unseen—between the land that withers and the spirits that weave a metaphysical tapestry in the background. Through Ikechukwu W. Obiorah’s lens, poetry is not passive; it is a force, an incantation, a ritual of reckoning. The imagery bleeds with an unsettling beauty, drawing readers into a landscape where maggots bite with purpose, where gods and decay coalesce into a grotesque yet mesmerizing dance. As poetry continues to reclaim its space in modern literature, Ikechukwu's The Teeth of Maggots is not just a collection of verses; it is a conversation waiting to happen—an exploration of decay and power that will leave readers questioning the world around them. This work gives voice to the haunting realities many dare not confront—a necessary disruption in a world too eager to look away." —Professor Maria Ajima, Professor of African Literature, Benue State University, Nigeria. |
