Matters of the Heart and Soul

Mus Jojo Collier was born in the seventies in the West African state of Sierra Leone. He did the sciences but his love for the arts saw him embrace literature in English and fine and performing arts. He sings, writes songs, plays, poems and prose. The brutal ten-year war in his native country forced him into exile in the neighboring Guinea, where he learnt French. Most of the poems in this collection were inspired by emotions and experiences by him and real life people he watched from close and far distances. Poetry is stories artistically compressed in few lines.
