Ama Ata Aidoo is one of the best-known African writers today.
Spanning three decades of work, the poems in this collection
address themes of colonialism, independence, motherhood, and gender
in intimate, personal ways alongside commentary on broader social
issues. After the Ceremonies is arranged in three parts: new and
uncollected poems, some of which Aidoo calls "misplaced or
downright lost"; selections from Aidoo's An Angry Letter in January
and Other Poems; and selections from Someone Talking to Sometime.
Although Aidoo is best known for her novels Changes: A Love Story
and Our Sister Killjoy, which are widely read in women's literature
courses, and her plays The Dilemma of a Ghost and Anowa, which are
read and performed all over the world, her prowess as a poet shines
in this collection.
