This is a substantial collection of some ninety poems from the
early sixties to the present day. Versions of many of them have
previously appeared in anthologies and journals such as Okike: an
African Journal of New Writing, FESTAC, and Black Orpheus. Eguda
speaks about and on behalf of the dispossessed, and embraces themes
such as silence and silent protest in politics, the lost art of
traditional living, unfair social advanatage and the rule of power
against justice and human rights. The title poem is a plea to the
god of (good) governance for the disarmament of corruption - those
who 'crucify services on civil crosses' - and for the empowerment
of those who protest.

The wiggling tails of lambs in spring; the chirruping song of crickets in summer; first two or three, then ten ducks hurrying your way in winter, "as if pulled by a string"... Nicola Davies skillfully interweaves fact and fiction in nine keenly observant poems, which celebrate a child's first animal encounters. Originally appearing in the award-winning collection A First Book of Nature, Hearld’s richly-textured, nostalgic illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to her words, and are reproduced here in full colour. With a space inside the jacket for you to write your own message, this pocket-sized poetry pamphlet is the perfect present for any time of year – and comes inside a packet including an envelope, ready for popping in the post!
