The Book: MasqueradeUndressing
(120 sides with 31 illustrations of the artist)
herausgegeben von / published by: CPN publishers, West Midlands / England
Emmanuel Eni has a way of winning hearts through words,in stories of love, and bravery. Slowly and almost quickly his work reminds and awakens one to brilliant past. In determining the future experiences, judgment is drawn by recounting purely the predicament living within the good yearning of the innate being.
Wit and absurdity, help promote a boisterous humour, which resonate in modern epic poems like "Angui- Igwe" ( the sun of the sky), in "do you love machine", also in "the short story of electric light".
Emmanuel Eni reveals the deeper values in life, and the mystic way of man. Stories transcending to the metaphysical, whose allegorical chain is vividly represented. In "the tale of the sign", the long tradition of symbols of belief and religion is put to play, relating the source, and quest of their representation.
Humour and mischief is further explored in stories like " money changer", " the bottle seller" and "the great untitled", a tale of treasures in an un kept mansion. Which ever story or tale one reads, one awaits the next with desire.
The mechanics of time and continuity applied brings the poems to evocate the diverse emotions treated. The poet relays and recounts the pleasures of love and hope and also the mysterious. Many poems of nature and recognition of achievements help the reader reconcile the constrains of his her own endeavour, and prepares them for their journey into the future.
Emmanuel Eni was born in Igbanke, in the Mid-West of Nigeria, in 1967. Already as a young man he was exposed to a very active literary society, where storytelling is a part of the daily life.
Later stuyding in the faculty of creative arts in the University of Benin, exposed more, as he travelled through, reading most of the early and classic writings over years, on stage, in many famous plays. From African, through European, to American and Latin American works.
This "Masquerade undressing" is a compilation of poems and stories. Some are dating 15 years back. Some of the tales one would read have been presented by the Berlin Multi-Cultural radio, as well as in countless stage performances and readings. The "Death preacher" an old classic from the poet written in 1995, and the very new epic-narrative work "Black man in European kitchen" reveals the magic fascination of cultures, though many and different, lives from the common resemblance in the human nature.
