Title My River: Poems on riverine ecology
The creeks and waters of the Niger Delta provide, for Chief Christian Otobotekere, a timeless inspiration for poetry. Dubbed an ode for joy, sweet reminiscence and spacious beauty, this volume of poems constantly invokes the ageless Niger river against a background of ephemeral responses and fleeting occupations that clutter the passages of many lifetimes. Chief Otobotekere’s My River serves as a point of reflection on past and present activities around the Delta. The ecological perspective adopted by the poet not only affirms the interconnectedness of nature but focuses on its importance as primordial sustainer of our universe.

All these are corroborated by prevalent historical forces which lie at the heart of the emerging literary dialogues from Africa and the Black world.
