Clementines - a Collection of Poems Orok Otu Duke

African communities still consider works of art along utilitarian lines. The local audience readily minimises the basic aesthetics of works of art to accommodate the propagandist qualities and values of such works. Therefore, we seek to serve both our immediate communities and the wider society. Clementines touches on social, political and philosophical issues discerned from my experience, perception and convictions. For the audience, you are at liberty to also appreciate these poems according to your cosmology, experience and orientation. Clementines (a Collection of Poems) is his first published work and the progenitor of others that will follow. The Brotherhood (a Play), Broken Lives(a Play) and Sentinels (another collection of Poems, Tributes, Feature Articles and Commentaries) will be published soon. Proceed, then: analyse, assess, peel it and savour it - if you must.
