White Masks

This collection of poetry both reflects and creates attitudes that we now regard as characteristic of our age � the crisis of nationhood and the burden of citizenship. Ebi Yeibo�s White Masks unambiguously exposes the dystopian nightmares of a nation and a people�s willing detachment from humanity. While some poets of his generation are content with dreaming of an ideal world, in White Masks, Yeibo, through the resources of memory, experiments with the idea of a better world – Professor Ogaga Okuyade, Niger Delta University, Wilberforce Island, Bayelsa State, Nigeria.
