    About this ebook

    … Countless uncounted airy diamond-specks
    Of downy white and glitter
    Lay upon sleeping grass and naked trees.
    Silent power whispers to the winds,
    Mistress of mountain air,
    Earth and sky, sun and moon.
    All life lies strangled
    In the folds of her triumph,
    And the snow falls and falls and falls …

    Maria Obiechina has been greatly moved by certain events in the world and her life. In her debut collection of poems, she shares poignant verse that explores emotions, human frailty and strength, loss, love, and regrets.

    Obiechina, who has been an educator in both America and Nigeria, lyrically reflects on her life experiences as she attempted to understand complex events around her and find a better path. Her poems express her frustration after visiting a Nigerian factory, the pain of unrequited love, the heartbreak of war, the beauty of a winter’s day, and the differences between generations. Through it all, Obiechina gently encourages all of us to embrace tolerance, differences, and empathy toward others as we continue on own unique journeys.

    Echoes of No More Wars shares poems that highlight the indomitable human spirit and touch on the universal traits of compassion, understanding, love, and hope.
