A Fire Kept Quiet is a ground-breaking poetry anthology from the Arewa Poetry Review, bringing together a new generation of Northern Nigerian voices whose words burn with resilience, reflection, and renewal. Through themes of faith, memory, conflict, womanhood, and the quiet power of survival, these poems speak of a North too often misunderstood or unheard. They reclaim the narratives of a region rich in language and humanity, challenging stereotypes and illuminating overlooked beauty in dust, harmattan, and dawn.
