Song of a Riverbird confirms the potential and talent displayed in Lola Shoneyin's first collection of poems - So All the Time I Was Sitting on an Egg.
This new collection encapsulates some of the best characteristics of postcolonial African poetry. The poems focus on the little stories of daily life, the pains and disappointments the samll joys and excitement that give colour and texture to ordinary life. These poems display feminine sensibility that is tied to tough, terse wit, and an assured confidence that both arrests and enchants the reader.
With these poems, Shoneyin moves into a new territory of poetic exploration and defines the idiom for that exploration. The controlled lyricism, of these poems and the issues they explore are bound to remain with us long after we have closed the pages of the book.
