The Colour of a Thing Believed is a collection of 13 independent stories with powerful and daring themes that are laid out with all carefulness for storytelling and skilfulness of craft that enables easy flow and connection of what can be termed fictional realities. The characters are scattered around African societies, with hope or despair in their bags. The colour of what they believe in becomes what keeps these characters going and reshapes their paths into what becomes a conclusion or a life lived. This is a book about adulthood and owning up to situations that can be funny or not. The characters are not morally charged but are full of flaws and are eager to live their poignant lives as wilful creatures or fated elements. Using humour, myth, and elements of tragedy, these stories are defining of a particular kind of contemporary realities.

FRETWIRE is an attempt to understand the shifting meaning of poetry. Its critical pace, contortions, grace, quiet revolution. These things that grow out of varied enthusiasms, refusals, and shape-shifting poems. Among other phenomena, for me, poetry has turned out to be good in making connections with other people. Despite everything, there is beauty. The mixture of anatomical intimacy and spiritual/psychological intimacy is my ideal in this book. In FRETWIRE, I have made peace with displacement and rootedness.Uche Nduka is a Nigerian-American poet, writer, and songwriter.
