Overview

ABOUT THE BOOK Eulogy and Puffery (For She I praise and Exaggerate) is the author's first collection of poems. The book represents the poet's frantic effort in his early writing days. It features poems over a decade old and a few relatively recent ones-poems of love, nature, fantasy, etc. While not tied to a particular theme, this collection evidences the handsomeness of the muse that rules the birth of the poet's endless lines. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ebi Robert is a poet, playwright, novelist, essayist, and researcher in diverse academic fields. He is a trained lawyer who found peace in making poetic lines. He discovered his love for the craft when he ended up as a finalist in the Bayelsa State Environmental Poetry and Essay Competition, held in 2007. He afterwards penned down some poems that were featured in e-zines and online poetry journals, such as Asian Signature, Poetic Diversity, Lunaris Review, etc. In 2014, Ebi Robert emerged as the winner of the locally contested E.K.

A year later (2020), he received a Certificate of Honour from Inked with Magic as one of the top twenty (20) selected Nigerian writers on the occasion of the Nigeria at 60 celebration. 2021 was a year of double accolades, as he emerged as 2nd Runner Up, Gabriel Okara Prize for poetry, and as a Finalist of the African Writers Award organised by the African Writers Development Trust (AWDT), Writers Space Africa Foundation, and Writers Space Africa-Tanzania (WSA-Tz).
