Overview

""Now comes a brooding, disbelieving Leonell Echa, singing the songs of loss and longing. This, his first collection of poems, takes us to dark places, confronting the realities of our existence. Echa announces himself as an unsparing sceptic, in the tradition of Dostoyevsky. These are poems that give us no easy way out. They invite us to consider suffering, decay, abandonment, and our incompleteness. But here and there the sunlight floods in. How beautiful it is."" Dele Olojede, winner of the Pulitzer Prize ""Leonell, your collection ignited a fire of yearning within me. The migratory restlessness of your poems left me pondering: would I open the door if a visitor knocked? Your voice is timely and your work is truly captivating."" Eric Ngalle Charles, Homeland ""Leon has made a daring move to break out of the rigid boundaries of tradition. This is poetry like a movie, structured like acts and scenes, and I'm sure the poet is carving a path back for poetry to be sought after on the bookshelves. For pleasure reading, academic critiquing and incisive quotes that applies to situations, the poet has condensed them into this collection."" Adeoye Adetoba, Freedom by October
