In feeling, thought and form, this collection gathers the fragments of personal and collective history as piercing meditation, and does so with rare creative and ethical force. Stark, lyrical and unforgettable. Insists that remembrance, as burden and inheritance, is in itself an act of resistance. S. Su’eddie Vershima Agema, Multiple award-winning poet, scholar, and author of Memory and the Call of Waters. It would seem Simonides had Ekwuazi’s poetry in mind when he said that ‘painting is silent poetry, poetry is eloquent painting’.
In Fragments Salvaged from the Deluge, one witnesses a unique deployment and exploitation of words and images stretched beyond the limits of synesthesia to create filmic pictures and paintings that one can feel with a sense of the palpable. Austin Amanze Akpuda, Poet, Literary and Film Critic, Professor of African Literature, Abia State University, Uturu. Fragments Salvaged from the Deluge is a book of witness and moral reckoning. Ekwuazi’s poetry is attentive to what survives after catastrophe: names, friendships, silences, and unfinished promises—salvaging dignity and human presence from the wreckage of history. This is poetry committed not to cheap consolation, but to the hard labour of remembering well. Servio Gbadamosi, Award-winning author of A Tributary in Servitude and Where the Light Enters You.
