Pidgin Stew and Sufferhead

by Frank Aig-Imoukhuede

First published in 1982, this book of poetry has been reissued in 2007, being in continuous demand. Thirty six poems form a kaleidoscope of the Nigerian condition, written largely in Pidgin English. Notes on the poems provide a context for language, interpreting the idiom, giving local cultural context, and some factual explanation of events which illuminate the poems.
