"The Man Who Should Die" by Ocheni Kazeem Oneshojo is a contemplative journey through loss, survival, and cultural identity. Centered on a father's tragic battle with addiction and the rituals that bind a family, these poems navigate grief's sharp edges and fragile hopes. From smoky backyard feasts in "Bat" to a harrowing night on Nigeria's roads in "July 31st, 2013," Oneshojo blends vivid storytelling with quiet introspection. Death lingers as both adversary and teacher, while tributes to literary giants like Okigbo honor poetry's timeless power. A reflective, grounded collection that bridges personal pain and universal resilience.
