Dr Fixit

by Godwin Inyang

'Dr Fixit (Africa's Longest Poem – Volume One' has a narrative in rhyme about a soldier ant which out of curiosity goes to play with a grasshopper but accidentally is flown from the jungle and ends up in a sugar factory and later with the sugar packs, is moved to a ship where he goes touring the world discreetly with the captain. He later abandons ship to explore the lives of humans more deeply and ends up partnering with an American female journalist and from books in her library, he starts practising how to write. With his love and talent for writing, he begins to write his script (after watching some epic films) and hopes to craft his fabulous box-office hit. With the journalist, he returns to his native continent and his dream too is gradually taking shape. In this volume is the draft of the first five scenes of 'Dr Fixit', the movie script about the good soldier ant who launches a massive mission to save a bad world.

About the author

At nineteen, two of my poems, ‘PLEA TO A BUD’ and ‘TELL ME PLEASE’, were published in 'Monthly Life' magazine. I have been writing consistently since then. My poems had been published in newspapers, anthologies and read on radio. My works are also posted on various websites. I'm working on a poem which has the potential of becoming the World's Longest Poem in English by a single author. 3500 stanzas of the poem entitled 'Dr Fixit (Africa’s Longest Poem)' (approximately over 250000 words long) had been rolled out on Amazon as kindle ebooks and paperbacks. More volumes expected. I have also with these a short-story collection entitled, 'Gamblers Make Better Lovers (And Other Stories)'; ‘Beauty Is A Burden (A Novel)’; ‘Colours (Of Life, Love And Faith’ (a 105-poem collection); ‘A Long Love Song’ (a long single poem forming a book); ‘The Many Faces Of Truth’ (a short novel) and ‘Write Without Fears And Tears (Twenty-one Tricks On How To Write Well)’ which is a guide and several other books. More should be out soon. In 2015, I was voted as the Creative Writers Association of Nigeria (CWAN) literary 'Heavyweight of the Year'.
