Arise

This is a revised edition to the author's first book titled “A Crown for the Baboon and other Poems” first published in paperback in 2013. This anthology is advocacy for social justice. It's a piece of imaginative and eclectic work that explores among other things the meaning of life and the mystery of love. The poet's expression is direct, legible and profound. It is a very articulate portrayal of common African realities. He often alternates between pessimism and optimism and is full of irony, humour and political gist. Above all it is his raw passion that strikes the reader. This piece is recommended for those who want to read anything new, unique or even strange.
