Set against the backdrop of political unrest in 1993 Nigeria, this book-length poem unfolds through a letter to Patience, the owner of a local bar. The narrator, now in Britain to care for his dying father, reflects on Patience's past as a political lecturer who abandoned her career due to oppressive regimes. The narrative weaves together personal history and broader themes of colonialism and post-colonial identity, creating a rich tapestry of a nation’s beauty and turmoil, while exploring one man's quest for meaning in challenging times.
