“"Art transcends the categories of geography, time and gender."”

“"I don't like to define myself as a Nigerian or African poet, because there is nothing that diminishes art more than confining it to a single place, country or historical period."”

“"What we write is a spiritual rendering of life; its origins and ending."”

“"Poetry bears the spirit of the eternal."”

“"We have no authority – just authorship, I believe – over what we write."”

“"Art comes to us because we are, essentially, fragile people."”

“"An insult and a challenge. Those were my own moment of (rude) awakening. They drew me to poetry."”
