Chinua Ezenwa-Ọhaeto's "The Naming" is a collection that explores exquisitely the Igbo ancestry through poems that transport the reader from precolonial Nigeria to postcolonial Nigeria. In each poem, Chinua maps Igbo culture, tradition, stories, and other important aspects of the Igbo's identity as one of the major tribes in Nigeria. This is a book that expands one's understanding of what it means to live in a world gifted with beautiful cultures, languages, and stories. Buy a copy.
