Labyrinths is the celebrated collection of Christopher Okigbo's most renowned poems which cemented his reputation as one of Nigeria's greatest poets.
In this powerful collection, Okigbo's renowned talent is showcased in vivid clarity as each poem draws the reader into an arresting world of myth and contemplation - a maze of spiritual homecomings, divine dreams, and the long-drums of the dead.
Including Paths of Thunder, his final and most famous sequence of poems that prophesised a nation overcome by war. Written shortly before he was killed in the Nigerian-Biafran War, Okigbo predicted his own death and left behind a legacy as a leading figure of postcolonial poetry.
'The finest Nigerian poet of his generation [and] one of the most remarkable anywhere in our time. Chinua Achebe
'There are poets who have a magical presence in the literature of their lands... Christopher Okigbo is one such poet.' Ben Okri
'One of the genuine renaissance people of our generation.' Wole Soyinka
