The Bridge Selection:
Poems for the Road
Publisher: Eastern Light
Author: Nnorom Azuonye
What the blurb says: In The Bridge
Selection, Azuonye demonstrates that as a human being and as
a poet he is not an emotional coward as he deals with issues
of Liberty, Biafra, Love, Nigeria, Death, Exile, Faith and
Hope...In most of this work, I feel a melancholy tinged with
defiance. Proud of his heritage, yet not uncritical of it,
the poet writes passionate dirges, elegies, love verses and
lyricised protests against war and violence"
- Uche Nduka (author of Heart's
Field)
Reviews:
The Bridge Selection is a
ripplng darkling delightful read from a big warm heart to a
cold unfeeling world. I've enjoyed doing time in it.
- Austyn Njoku (author of Scents of Dawn)
Nnorom Azuonye looks at the human condition through the
prism of Africa, thus using at the same time the eyes of an
insider and an outsider...Definitely a disturbing,
unforgettable, thought-provoking read.

New Hope International review by John Francis
Haines
(author of Other Places, Other Times)
Nnorom Azuonye’s second poetry collection, A Bridge
Selection, is characterized by a passionate intensity which
imbues his lines with lyrical tenderness and defiant
hope...The poems in A Bridge Selection plumb the depths of
varied human emotions traversing different emotional
trajectories and planes...Whether writing about war; the
American carnage in Iraq, the collateral damage from the
war...or about abortion...despair never manages to eclipse
hope...
