Reviews for Hippocrates, Volume IX: Coan Prenotions. Anatomical and Minor Clinical Writings

. . . a truly distinguished volume, which gives a new dimension to Niyi Osundare's deep social concerns. Vast in its range of images, the poetry is assured, passionate and at times intensely lyrical . . . Ýit represents an affirmation of confidence in the ultimate possibility of triumph over the stress of the present moment in Africa.
