“Ekpe Inyang’s subject and engravings are reminiscent of those of
the English poet William Blake, who both question innocence and
experience. Although Inyang’s poetry is grounded in mundane experiences
involving individuals and places, the poet addresses philosophical
issues of human existence, love, and death. The poems constitute a
creative collage of word and image that seek to bridge the temporalities
of hope and despair, goodness and evil, and an Edenic past and the
present despoliation.”
