PRAISE FOR THE REIGN OF THE HAWKS

This is a truly enjoyable, multi- sided, original volume of poems, spanning ages, spaces and ideas. The volume, a debut I imagine, is experimental, technically alluring and highly promising. I trust that this plantain tree will grow into a huge Iroko, in due course.

—Prof Olu Obafemi, FNAL, NNOM.

With a scathingly beautiful sense of humor, Enang God’swill Effiong’s The Reign of The Hawks leaps elegantly from the comical to the political as it is with most poets of his time though with a little touch of idiomatic nuance. He deftly juxtaposes the traditional and the social in a way far more electrifying than any collection from a Nigerian poet I have read in a while.

—Tares Oburumu, Winner of the Sillerman prize for African poets, 2022.

‘In Reign of the Hawks , the poet invites us to peer into an uncertain future, unraveling the essence of humanity in a world both familiar and unknown. Divided into four captivating parts, each section paints a vivid picture of a world ravaged by insatiable greed and entrenched social norms.”

—Dhee Sylvester, Writer and Visual Artist

“The Reign of the Hawks by God’swill Enang Effiong is an evocative collection that delves into the very heart of human emotions and experiences. Within these pages, words take flight and emotions unfurl like wings in a breathtaking display of imagery and verse. Each poem is a carefully crafted tapestry, weaving together moments of vulnerability, strength, and the eternal dance of the human spirit. In this collection, you will be captivated by the lyrical cadence and profound emotions that resonate deep within.

—Nosakhare Collins, Writer, Publisher and Author of “When Ravens Become Flowers”.
