Toil and Delivery

Bill ndi s toil and delivery can be as playful and loaded as the clues in a cryptic crossword puzzle which is to say that they are marked by a strange energetic hybridity. They occupy a dynamic space between nursery rhyme and visionary romantic verse between the colloquial and the archaic between postmodernity and anachronism. They are local and global political and personal western and non-western. With experiences traversing both africa and the west bill f. Ndi is one of those poets who gives meaning to the word globalisation. He embraces poetry as a material act in a troubled world with poetry s power conveyed with typical irony.
