A lovely book of poems rich with intelligent humor, societal observations
By LMKaminski
A lovely book of poems rich with intelligent humor, societal observations, and amazing lyricism. These poems are an unapologetic celebration of Nigerian (and wider African) heritage, including "Fulani Boy" (which has garnered international recognition), and the exquisitely-written "Kwesi." My feet wanted to dance to the intense rhythms of "Call of the Konga," "Nkpokiti dancer," and "These ghosts shall dance again" -- these three poems, which appear together in FLAMES OF THE FOREST, capture the rhythm of drum, flute, and tambourine in a most magical way, conveying foot-stamping rhythm and sensuous movement in a way that I didn't think possible via mere words on a page. And the social commentary in "Meet me at Chibok," "To a suicide bomber in Mubi," "Haven't we seen enough?" and "When will the ravens perch again?" is not merely a lament, but holds a deep sense of determination to move toward something better. My personal favorites in this fine collection are "Fulani Woman" and "Hills of the Impala" -- these poems, in my mind, deserve every bit the same international attention received by "Fulani Boy" -- they are both astoundingly well done, poems I have read again and again and again that make my heart smile and break at the same time. I am looking forward to another collection from this promising young poet.

Excellent piece of poetry
By African Literature Review
Excellent piece of poetry, incredibly by a fresh writer. Iyeomoan is a great writer. Flames of the Forest is a classic. We whole heartedly endorse the review of this book by Professor Asomwan Adagbonyi and wish to reproduce it hereunder as ours also.

A Few Words…
I will be quick to trouble you with this little confession: I’m yet to meet ‘Zogie Iyeomoan in person, though by way of self-introduction, he describes himself in this elegant collection of poems as “an unrepentant lover of African literature and history”. He also makes quite a few poetic “confessions” and “claims”, but more on these shortly.
I have no reason to doubt his claim to being “an unrepentant lover of African literature”, having before now encountered his poetry on social media and seen the passion with which he goes on creating, on a near daily basis, poem after poem that can conceivably be described as of high quality.
If I have been struck by the kinetic energy that suffuses his ‘social media’ poems, the dexterity with which he unreels the tapestry of his poetic imagination, I have also not failed to wish that these poems and his many others lying in quietude in memory cards and flash drives are “transmogrified” into some “permanence” in the nature of a book. Now in this homogenous form, it could either be transmitted into other forms - electronic/digital, etc. – or left as it is.
If I have been taken in by the sensitivity with which he articulates his perspectives and the depth of his love for words, I have also been impressed by his relishing of a broad-based collocational geography in amplifying and contextualizing his messages. All these, put together, have given his poetry an unforgetability – a certain kind of haunting presence – which at last this volume not only validates but consolidates – to my great joy, and relief!
Flames of the Forest, then, is an effort that reveals the flaming innards of a young Nigerian writer’s passion for the beaded word and a more than passionate affirmation of his love for literature, especially the poetry genre. It showcases his joy, pain, surprise, disappointment, frustration with his country, his continent, its past, present and future. It is a roller-coaster of emotions and that this intense presence is urged on by the solidity of the panoramic sweep of the 76 poems is remarkable indeed.
In one of the poems, Yeomoan declares: “I’m not a renowned poet/just an apprentice”. Going further, he states: “If I be a poet/let my words give life”. Much as these “confessional”, profoundly self-effacing lines may suggest that in his youth and innocence the poet may not even be sure of who he is, a close reading of this collection reveals that it is certainly not a journey of innocence. It is, in fact, the foraging of a vibrant, multi-talented writer in the panoply of experience seeking to forge a defiant, personal poetic mode; the relentless, undefeated and undefeating effort to create forest fires.
Flames of the Forest, in my estimation, is a powerful collection that demands the attention of all who seek not only beauty in poetry, but also the poetry of beauty. But beyond this, is the undiluted truth it unleashes, damning the consequences.
