Myriad Musings: A Treasury of Poems

By E.E. Uchenna

This is a collection of twenty-seven poems that run through varying themes of loss through death and the enjoyment of life. It offers a brooding philosophical engagement with the reader in some pieces; while in others, it elevates the imagination and moves beyond a purely physical experience. This transcendental quality is intricately woven into most of the poems. There is a delightful use of metaphor in many instances, like in the depiction of a bleeding sun and a frequent animation of nature. One will find a lot of somberness and sadness in some of the poems, but it also tells a story of renewal and hope.

E.E. Uchenna

As a child, he enjoyed periods of seclusion and learned during such times to indulge his active imagination. He developed a fondness for words afterward and reveled in the liberating experience of becoming more intimate with his thoughts. He writes with the intent of giving expression to the heart’s deep musings.
