Mangos de HachaWhile Christopher Okigbo began writing poetry soon after leaving university and some of his poems were published in the university magazine The Horn, he was never a prolific writer: he was too demanding and not very organized. He was attracted to the work of the "modernist" European and American poets. In practice, Okigbo fragments would add a lot of writers and texts from other sources because I wanted to do precisely what Eliot and Pound had done with notoriety: establish a lineage and own poetic tradition of a writer of world.
