Abstract:The author discusses the work of two young Nigerian poets, Toyin Adewale and Chinenye Ce, both born after the Nigeria-Biafra war. Their poetry reveals their struggles to come to terms with the society which was disintegrating around them. Toyin Adewale published his anthology of poems in 1995 with the title 'Naked Testimonies', in which his weapon for dealing with the situation is hate. Chinenye's collection, 'Full Moon', was published in 2000 and, in it in contrast, he tries to come to terms with what he sees by painting a landscape of love, redemption, and liberation. The article is liberally interspersed with quotations from both authors. Bibliogr. [ASC Leiden abstract]
