Pan African Pocket Poets (PPP) was a series of 5 chapbooks published by Ulli Beier in Ife, Nigeria between 1971 and 1972.

Beier's influence on the development of Nigerian literature is significant, but his legacy is marred by literary hoaxes and cultural appropriation.

Described as a ‘Ginsbergish’ poem, Reluctant Flame imagines anti-colonial revolution as an erupting volcano and is regarded as the most overtly political composition published by Beier at the time.

This was Wonodi's second collection of poems, and includes works that deal with social problems that emerged during the Nigerian civil war.

At the time of publication, Ndu was studying for a PhD in Afro-American literature at the State University of New York, Buffalo, having been awarded an Aggrey Fellowship.
