Where the Baedeker Leads uncovers the many delicate layers that lie in the spaces between departures and arrivals, offering memories and stories. The Baedeker is a metaphor that emerges as a cultural guide that leads both to and away from the obvious meanings in the poems; but it is also a useful tool that points to a recurrent theme in this collection, the idea of motion and displacement. Whether it's about journeys, personal transition, or changes in the seasons, the aim is to draw attention to the personal experiences and social conditions that push people away from home to the new landscapes, sights, and encounters that remind them of the times and place they have so painfully left behind.
"Although the politics of my Nigerian homeland animate several of the poems, their most abiding rumination is on the poetic space in which I have attempted to enunciate the constancy of change and the disruption of fixities. The intersections of the human experiences become evident in poems that make legible how enduring the harsh realities of winter storms and frost bites remind me of the adversities of home that so traumatize you that you feel the best gestures of love must be from afar."
