When Africa Writes: Anthology of poem...
The Language of Repression
"This is no collection of angry slogans. Godwin's poems are full of fury, yes - but it is a literary, considered, metaphor-rich fury. The poet's pen in his hand is not a crude weapon that simply fires at everything in sight. It is a sensitive seismograph - registering political tremors, social silences, and the emotional fractures of his time and place." Konrad Hirsch
A Nation in Mourning
This searing indictment offers a scathing critique of the systems of power in Uganda. It masterfully unmasks the dark underbelly of corruption, greed and selfishness that threaten to consume her. Through this poetry, light is shed on the intricate mechanisms of oppression, electoral integrity, succession, and leadership, revealing how those in power manipulate and exploit the vulnerable, perpetuating the spasms of inequality and injustice.
111 POEMS: One Voice by KELVIN LILLAN...
Some books are written. This one was lived. 111 Poems is a raw, emotionally charged collection born over a decade in the shadow of the Ngong Hills, a place that became home, witness, and muse. Spanning faith and doubt, love and loss, the resilience carved out of struggle, and the quiet beauty of the natural world, these 111 poems trace the full arc of a human life.
The final poem, a tribute to Ngong itself, closes the collection the way all honest journeys end, by honouring the ground that held you.
For every reader who has ever found poetry in a place, a season, or a silence, this collection is yours.
DisPlace: The Poetry of Nduka Otiono ...
The poems in this selection are drawn from Otiono's two published collections, Voices in the Rainbow, and Love in a Time of Nightmares, and the volume includes previously unpublished new poems. Peter Midgley’s introduction contextualizes Otiono’s work within the frame of physical and spiritual mobility, diaspora, and newer critical frames like Afropolitanism, attending to form as well as his political engagement. The volume concludes with an interview of the poet by Chris Dunton that touches on the nature of poetry, language loss, and diasporic identities.
Love in a Time of Nightmares: Poems b...
“How might we make music in a burning house? Love in a Time of Nightmares shows us how. Lacerating and lyrical, these songs are fragments out of a still raging storm whose other name is Nigeria. Tenderness knits despair and hope together in this daring collection, and the product is the ambiguity that must be the stance of all those who dare sing in the midst of an inferno.” —Ike Okonta, Department of Politics, University of Oxford, UK “Nduka Otiono’s excellent book begins a dialogue between Canadian poetics and the rich resources of Nigerian poetry…. Africa has much to teach us, and here is an ideal place to learn…. Come and listen. You will be enchanted.” —Bert Almon, poet and Professor, Department of English and Film Studies, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada “Only an accomplished poet can write these remarkable poems, haunting and enchanting songs in smooth-flowing lines. Love in a Time of Nightmares is definitely mature and exhilarating…a memorable collection. You can’t help but be mesmerized by these poems.” —Tanure Ojaide, poet and Frank Porter Graham Professor of Africana Studies, University of North Carolina, Charlotte, USA

Sizzling stories of the Nile by Anek ...
OF US by Moses Kiptoo
We’ve all seen the headlines.
They leave questions we don’t have answers to.
They refuse to leave our heads.
This book is for all of us navigating these tough times.
Perfect books are boring
I do not have answers
I'm no Messiah to fix or heal or rescue
I just want to say,
"I see you. I know. You are not alone as you feel"
I deeply believe, a people who can still imagine better days are not defeated.
With love, Mr.66th.
