dc.description.abstractArguably, gender considerations have become one of those distinctions that shore up sentiments in literary criticism. In Nigeria, with the 'infiltration' on the poetry scene by female writers like Promise Okekwe, Maria Ajima, Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo and a few others, an interesting dimension that is bringing great challenges to both writers and critics of Nigerian poetry is being enacted. This paper, through Akachi Adimora- Ezeigbo's Heartsongs (2009) and Waiting for Dawn (2010), assesses the creative vision of Nigerian female poets. The writer discovers that the poet sustains the outbursts against gender oppression but her social consciousness, demonstrated by an exhibition of a passion which is galvanised by her transference of historical facts into poetry, is quite overbearing. The conclusion of the paper challenges the poet's impression of hope but credits her ingenuity at charting a new course that could check gender deprivations and foster national rebirth.en_US
