The many attempts by literary critics to bring “writers from the fringe” to the fore of critical attention have been invaluable in promoting literary scholarship in Nigeria. However, because the Nigeria literary landscape is fertile, there are “omissions” of “new” writers whenever there is a new anthology. This paper is another attempt to bring to critical discourse the poetry of some “new” writers including Anthony Ada, Moses Effiong, Onyekachi Onuoha, Mercy Envorh, among others. The newness of these poets lies not only in their entry into the craft but also in the focus on their craft for critical acknowledgement and judgement by those who should do so. The paper is concerned with their handling of themes and their deployment of linguistic resources for achieving this.
