Are these religious poems? Do the words rise in defiance of organised religion? Is this the work of an atheist or a devout Christian, or just maybe a secular mind locked in a vision at noon? Ceremony of Dust is not just a collection of 'spontaneous overflow of words recollected in tranquility'. No! The words are alive -throbbing with excitement. The arrangement of lines, the flow of messages, and command of the mechanics of the language of expression indicate a master at work, a prophet with a prophecy, and a pilgrim set on a course of creative and spiritual exposition.Mastery of rhyme and rea...
Are these religious poems? Do the words rise in defiance of organised religion? Is this the work of an atheist or a devout Christian, or just maybe a secular mind locked in a vision at noon? Ceremony of Dust is not just a collection of 'spontaneous overflow of words recollected in tranquility'. No! The words are alive -throbbing with excitement. The arrangement of lines, the flow of messages, and command of the mechanics of the language of expression indicate a master at work, a prophet with a prophecy, and a pilgrim set on a course of creative and spiritual exposition.Mastery of rhyme and reason is often a difficult task and a fading art among Nigerian poets but Onuegbu Ovie makes it appear like taking ice cream on a gentle Sunday evening. From the deeply spiritual to the infinitely philosophical, the poems in Ceremony with the Dust fill the reader with a yearning for answers in the face of questions rearing their heads at every turn of words, lines and pages. Love, enduring investment in emotion and passion, is placed on the altar alongside other offerings of the human reality: economic survival, loss of innocence and the burden of responsibilities, faith and fate, hope and despair, and so on. Ceremony with the Dust is a book for both the reader and writer. It is a manual for those aspiring to write good poetry and dexterous use of rhyme and rhythmic patterns. It is a companion for 'sit-in-the-parks- and twilight readings. It is the delicious invasion of taste buds by a great meal: the lingering aftertaste of vintage wine.
