Kpakiama’s poetry is energetic and direct as it addresses the issues of the oppressedheadlong, calling a spade by no other name but a spade. He draws from his Ijaw oral tradition the strength of which lies in its performative expression. His vast knowledge of his people and their traditions and culture give voice to his immeresely lyrical lines rich in proverbs, metaphors and fables.
