The Duet An ANthology of Poems

"The Duet" belongs in the special league of such double-voiced texts as Temilola Abioye & Tade Ipadeola's "Voices" (1996), Hannatu Abdullahi's "She Talks, He Talks" (1998), and Amaka Azuike's "Tides of Time" (2000), the remarkable difference being that it is the first congenitally bonded of notable dual-authored collections of modern Nigerian poetry. Most of the poems contained here are deeply personal and reflective, sprung on half and full rhymes, dealing with aspects of human desires and despair, hope and love, and generally composed as interlocking statements about life and living.
