I don’t believe a poem can literally save a life. I think a poem can enrich a life, make a life courageous, tilt someone into adventure, joy, questions, knowledge, spirituality, protest, humour, curiosity, sadness, eroticism.
Poetry can be redemptive without being a banal protest; without exuding forced righteousness.” – Uche Nduka
