Martin Bennett (1999): Mammy-Wagons, Kaduna-Lagos Road
The other day I stumbled across this beautiful little
poem by Martin Bennet, a British poet and translator who
is, if I am not mistaken, now based in Rome, Italy (link leads to another of his poems but with a short bio). This
poem comes from a collection that is informed by his time in Nigeria and was
published in 1999 by Wasafiri.
