Description

Commissioned as a result of the annual Abuja Literary and Arts Festival (ALITFEST), On Empathy: Stories & Poems is a gentle collection of short stories and poems from some of the interesting, but powerful voices in Nigeria.

On Empathy: Stories & Poems is a bold and brave collection that should become a regular feature of the Abuja Literary and Arts Festival. This collection ranges from poems from young poets – who write about love and loss, hope and prosperity. The poetry is full of depth and they recall the great Nigerian poets such as Christopher Okigbo; without being nostalgic, but very forward-looking.
