River Plains of Memories by Dike Okoro (2025)

The poems in this collection showcase the poet as a visionary, traveler, witness, and environmentalist. From his preoccupation against tyranny to his heartfelt reflections on the environment, Dike Okoro situates his work within significant representations of childhood, life, love, ecological concerns, liberation, and reflections (home and abroad) that provide useful insights into the Nigerian/African/American experience in the postcoolnial/world literature.
