Lives, decisions and consequences are on full display in Ice Cream Melts, acollection of modern poetry by Nnamdi Osuagwu. With invigorating candor,Osuagwu dissects the contemporary lives of everyday people, usingrelationships as a way to touch and communicate personally with each reader.Written from the inner voice of a mother, father, son, daughter, lover,professional, or prisoner, Ice Cream Melts allows the reader to feel whatothers feel and to realize we are not alone in our experiences today.Reflecting the collection s title, Ice Cream Melts is about life and whathappens throughout it. It is about the decisions we want to change or thecircumstances we didn t ask to be born into. The collection does more thanjust stating the obvious pitfalls of present-day living. It shows there isinspiration to be found in the acceptance that we are only human and that,in the end, ice cream does melt. Video footage of people sharing theirpersonal Ice Cream Melts stories can be found at the IceCreamMelts.comwebsite. The videos represent an interactive movement spawned by the poetrycollection and related Ice Cream Melts (ICM) projects.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

"Who am I? I'm a person who eats when I'm hungry and drinks when I'm thirsty. I'm the person at the end of the bar who raises his glass to a familiar face. I care about the feelings of the people around me. I love hard and don't forget faces. I get overly excited about new ideas. I could spend hours talking to a stranger, if their story is interesting. I believe in hard work and sacrifice. I think that people spend way too much time defining themselves as oppose to just living. My word is more important than any amount of money. Fear motivates me to reach beyond myself. My heart is pure, but my tongue is corrupted. I am you, him, and her all at the same time." - Nnamdi Godson Osuagwu
