Abstract
his essay examines the spatial conundrum in Niyi Osundare’s poetry collection on hurricane Katrina disaster in order to investigate how the poet has represented the effects of the storm on the city of New Orleans. The research aims to analyse the spatial imagery and metaphors used in Osundare’s poetry to convey the experiences of Katrina victims. It also investigates how the poems challenge and reinforce dominant narratives of disaster response and recovery
