Official synopsis Publisher
Uche Nduka returns with an explosive new collections of poems based on the Pacific Northwest during the covid pandemic.
Sheltering with his wife and child on Washington State’s Bainbridge Island during a global pandemic, the poet as political surrealist considers themes of isolation and connection in the most personal terms using his unique brand of explosive abstraction to carve out a space to explore the meaning of home, family, and diaspora.
“In BAINBRIDGE ISLAND NOTEBOOK, the measure of pleasure is found in the social fact of song. Sparkling with erotic charges and moral conundrums, Uche Nduka’s detonates novelty in the name of love. His short lines create the rhythmic force of news that William Carlos Williams celebrated. This is poetry new, brave, and boisterous.”–Charles Bernstein
