More DescriptionBiafra, God Answers is a poetic survey of the ramifications that bleed out of the wounds Biafrans still carry today. The perspective of this story places an emphasis how the wounds are identified, perpetuated and healed by the Igbo diaspora. Many of the scenes evoked in this body of work juxtapose the genocide of war with the disappointments of every day life for the ones seeking sovereignty over their souls and their lives. Interspersed through the text are poems that shout an undeniable allegiance to life, vitality, and rebellion.
