This anthology is a powerhouse of modern literature spanning from Africa to America. It contains some powerful and poignant poetry about rape in modern times. One of the intentions for this anthology is for it to be used as a tool for awareness and fundraising for shareholders against the scourge of sexual abuse around the world.
As a continent blessed with promise and plagued with problems, Africa has inspired tons of poetry for centuries. Such poetry were written by non-Africans and Africans who wrote from either a pro-colonialist or an anti-colonialist mindset. It has been said that most poetry from Africa is political in nature. There is a reason for that. Our problems emanate from politics and socio-economic mismanagement. In Whispers in the Whirlwind, young African poets ventilate about the struggles that they, and their people, face each day, due to socio-economic and political stagnancy. This anthology's sole motive is to put on the record what is happening and what must be done. The poets, who hail from several parts of Africa, speak to their leaders and their people about things lost, things forgotten and things that need to be salvaged. Whispers in the Whirlwind is a must-read for anyone who desires to see a better Africa, in spite of the many realities that act like hurdles in her path to progress.
We Come From One Place - Poetry about the ills of racism, sexism, ethno-centricism and nepotism is an anthology that minces no words about things that divide us in this world. With spectacular contributions from Nana Nyarko Boateng, Nana Fredua Agyeman, Basanta Kar, Adjei Agyei Baah, Roland Marke, Vivekanand Jha, Emmanuel Jakpa, Cosmas Mairosi and Lila S Mensah, the anthology serves as a constant reminder as to why we must remain united as one strong unit, not divided into weakened units. We Come From One Place will challenge you to reevaluate how you treat another person; it will probe into your reasons for not enjoying the company of someone from another race or cultural background. The central theme in this anthology is humanity and each poet presents a compelling array of perspectives in their poetry.
