The University of Alberta Department of English and Film Studies is honoured to launch the new book of Professor Nduka Otiono: “DisPlace: The Poetry of Nduka Otiono”.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The poems in this selection are drawn from Otiono\u2019s two published collections, Voices in the Rainbow, and Love in a Time of Nightmares, and the volume includes previously unpublished new poems. Peter Midgley\u2019s introduction contextualizes Otiono\u2019s work within the frame of physical and spiritual mobility, diaspora, and newer critical frames like Afropolitanism, attending to form as well as his political engagement. The volume concludes with an interview of the poet by Chris Dunton that touches on the nature of poetry, language loss, and diasporic identities.<\/p>\n

\nTime:<\/strong> 7pm EST |\u00a0 5pm MST
\nVenue:<\/strong> Online Zoom | University of Alberta, English Dept.<\/p>\n

\"\"DisPlace<\/em> is a book that straddles multiple poetic traditions and places African intellectual history at the forefront of an engagement with Western poetics.<\/p>\n

Otiono in this book engages actively with a diasporic world and is equally at home critiquing petroculture in Nigeria and in Canada.<\/p>\n

The book will be launched on March 2, 2022 in a hybrid event at the University of Alberta, Edmonton and virtually online on Zoom.<\/p>\n\n
