## What is Footprints Poetry?

A poetry publication, an artistic intervention, a journey that follows and leaves footprints on its trail.

This poetry collection is an outward reflection of an inward process of questioning. It is a living archive of inquiries at the crossroads and cross points of our times. As the ground shifts beneath our feet—while the cartography of the external world is contested and our inner landscapes are reconfigured from familiar belief systems and sociocultural identities—these poems offer a sanctuary for contemplation, but also a mirror for seeing beyond one’s own image of self and world.

The Igbo say: Onye ajụjụ anaghị efu ụzọ — one who questions does not miss the way.* The questioner is not necessarily seeking definitive answers, but the revelations in the myriad forms truth manifests.

In offering these reflections, these poems leave footprints—not only for those who will come after, but for all who are coming into their being, including the children, who are the most evident manifestation of tomorrow’s hope. In time, Footprints will open a dedicated space for them — with poems and audio content created for and with young readers — nurturing in them the joy of questioning and the gift of perception from an early age.

This journey is not solitary. Through the app’s community platform, readers can send feedback, share their own reflections, and connect directly with artist, joining an ongoing conversation that extends beyond the poems themselves.

All poems in this collection are conceived, written, curated, and presented on the Footprints Anthology app — no algorithms involved — as original works by trans-African multidisciplinary artist Emeka Okereke.
