ABSTRACT
War is a serious thing. It is a matter of life and death, hence it is a subject of inquiry which on no account can be neglected. The purpose of this study is to examine how John Pepper Clark and Peter Onwudinjo portray the realistic representation of the Nigeria-Biafra Civil War through the use of poetic devices like metaphor, neologism, simile, assonance and repetition in order to dissuade people from resorting to war. Chapter one deals with the introduction of the work which comprises purpose of study, scope of study, research methodology, theoretical background in which the New Formalism approach to literary criticism is adopted, review of related scholarship and justification of study. Chapter two depicts the victims of war as reflected in the war poetry of J. P. Clark and Peter Onwudinjo. Chapter three delves into the recreation of war scenes. Chapter four looks at the pre and post war reflections as it pertains to the Nigeria-Biafra Civil War. Finally, chapter five comprises conclusion and works cited.
