“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.”
