From Poejazzi and Benin City to a string of supreme collaborations, Idehen's impact resonates far and wide across the landscapes of poetry and jazz\/electronica. Cross-examining colonialism, Brexit Britain, masculinity, mental health and ways of healing, his writing is an essential provocation, a comedy roast, an intervention, a cannonball from which no one is safe, least of all himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Songbook feels like a large, black, tattered flag, running at enemy hordes, screaming, \u003ci\u003eIt's on\u003c\/i\u003e.\" Roger Robinson \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A few Idehen songs before bedtime will leave you feeling revolutionary.\" Leone Ross \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A writer whose poems leap from the page.
