I want to paint with words by Obinna Chilekezi (Stripes Literary Magazine Chapbook Series)
Words... Words can paint a picture.
From the chaos Obinna coins words to expose his feelings and the nature of a country that he may never find worthy of being called country. With precision he paints a true picture of life, humanity, anger, loss and choice.
