A Scent of Heaven is food for the soul lost in the dark night of the soul. This body of poems heals the wounds of the hopeless on every level--many have found freedom in this text. Written as an ekphrastic text, the cover met Igwe with the telling of her story, and the stories of her people. These words are a radically honest approach to the altar of the soul, and the words invite you to join in this recounting of the body, mind, and Spirit.

Ugochukwu: Birds of Pray is a collection of poems that elucidate the journey of connecting with God through elements of nature, and the uncertainty that we experience when we are called to express faith in our path, even the parts of the path that we cannot see or prepare for. Moving prose written with the intent to stretch the English language and its punctuation for those who have grown weary of a language that limits expression. This book is a reminder that there are no rules in writing if you do not want them. Journey into this forbidden book.

Wata Don Pass Garri is a body of work that is the talk-back to two. It is one of Nkechi Ani's most honest bodies, detailing her feelings about magic, the family that stole her family, and the absolute reclamation of her power in sweet work, the pleasing of herself first. Nkechi Ani describes her experiences in the months following her fourth book, Biafra: God Answers. This book is a resurrection as it is included in a number of works that were stolen from Igwe's laptop.
