Pages From The Book Of The Sun

Pages from the Book of the Sun: New and Selected Poems - This long-expected collection brings together some of the best poems by one of Africa's most important poets. Covering nearly two decades, it represents a substantial part of the poet's new writing as well as poems from his early works. With remarkable vigor and consistency, Osundare addresses major social and aesthetic issues of our time such as justice, freedom, war, racism, the environment, art, and the process of writing poetry, all of which are treated as urgent and engaging themes in a variety of delightful and griping lyrical styles.
