In Jazz Negotiations, Echezonachukwu Nduka Scores a Symphony Out of Silence – Sima Essien

Ultimately, the poems of Jazz Negotiations celebrate music, sound, and the possibilities of language as they entwine intimately with every corner of existence. To read these poems is to appreciate the ingenuity of the collection’s structure, the depth and wisdom interlaced with melodic exhortation, the effortless movement from reverence to activism to observation to philosophy, so that one is ferried across borders: from protest to testimony, from recital to homage, from dirge to rapture.
