Uchechukwu Onyedikam is a human being burning with fire and brimstone; a place, where words are forged.

Too often poets duck away from placing words that we would have to look up, at times. But it expands our knowledge, which is ever under great threat, and yet as writers we need to embrace it all, and pass on what we can.
Terrific work, and I have to include your third work even if we know all the words, it’s a great combination of cassava with verb ‘babywear‘
