This chapter examined the style of Adimora-Ezeigbo and revealed that her works favour the use of some literary and linguistic elements as against others. These elements include: pidgin, vernacular, neologism and proverbs. She uses them to project the various themes in her works and to add local coloration in a bid to enhancing their Africaness. On the use of pidgin, she writes some poems completely in the Nigerian pidgin and saturates other with pidgin. In some other poems, she infuses her Igbo dialect and creates some words to suit her thematic exposition; and finally, she makes use of African proverbs. She deploys a good number of proverbs in her poems to enhance the projection of themes as well as amplify their local undertones.
