In Time and Songs of the River Man, Chinaka philosophizes existence with an almost unflinching enthusiasm that transcends wandering. Although, he describes himself as a "wanderer" it's obvious that the wealth of experiences and philosophical insights engrafted in the poems surpass wandering, especially the metaphysical poems about 'life', 'death', and 'time'-the very essence of being. Chinaka puts the gift of garb of an existentialist here.
