\n Book Launch! DisPlace: The Poetry of Nduka Otiono\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

“Displace: The Poetry of Nduka Otiono” <\/em>is the latest publication of our very own Dr. Nduka Otiono Associate Professor of  English and Graduate Program Coordinator here at the Institute of African Studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\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. Otiono in this book engages actively with a diasporic world and is equally at home critiquing petroculture in Nigeria and in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
