The Contents Of Our Empty Graves: Poetry collection on Social vices,Repentance,Love and Justice

---

The collection of poetry is like a modern day work on a papyrus, as it delves into the present- past to collect essential social vices and dissect them on today’s society, infusing their influence in our psyche and then battle the vice to standstill on his readers mind, the poet takes his argument successfully against the established order of some social sins that are legalized by circumstances in some of today’s human society, social ills like Child labour, Racism, Abortion, War ,Capital Punishment ,Domestic violence ,and of course perils and joys of Love.

In the Contents of our empty Graves , Chinaka Iwuoha ,a self confessed ’de-colonized’ contemporary African poet tries to persuade us to see through the warped fabric of human emotions, the collection in its entirety presents the opinion that there are many in all of us, and man despite depths of his innocence at birth, is still capable of any evil depending on the situations that shaped him. The sad love poems like My beautiful way to die, A woman pledge, Incurable Maladies of my mind, exposes the intricacies borne by self in the time of love and how much our self acceptance so much depends on others opinion of us, especially people we value, this poetry collection is an entire reflection of predominant issues in modern African society.
